Can Wisdom Teeth Problems Lead To Tonsillitis?

I have been to the dentist yesterday as one of my wisdom teeth is infected and quite sore and he gave me penicillin. I have woken up today with red swollen and sore tonsils. Can wisdom teeth problems lead to tonsillitis? And is there anything my doctor can do as I'm already taking amoxicillin?
