    Hi, Malcolm!

    This sharp pain especially upon waking up is quite characteristic of a throat infection. However, I advise you not to self-medicate.

    If the penicillin was prescribed by your doctor, that's fine, just make sure you follow the treatment to the end.

    I hope you are already feeling better.
