Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your history and symptoms of enlarged tonsils indicates that you have got an attack of tonsillitis.

I would advise you to undergo a proper clinical examination and further investigations before treatment.

I would suggest you try with a course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines for 1 to 2 week.

If there is no complete relief or there are more attacks in one year you may require tonsillectomy.
Thank you.
