Hi,
Tonsillitis with brown pus and inability swallow should be treated. Consult your doctor or go to ER. Get admitted as you need intravenous fluids and electrolytes as you can not swallow anything. Intravenous antibiotics, metronidazole is to treat infection
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
