Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, It may be tonsillitis. You may require antibiotic like amoxicillin and clavulanic acid after consultation. You can take antihistaminics after consultation. Along with that do sline gargles or warm water gargles. Maintain proper hygiene. Take care.
