Suggest Treatment For Swollen Tonsils

I ve had swollen tonsils for about a month now, and my right tonsil is bigger than the other and they have white spots on them. I ve tried pretty much everything but nothing seems to work. I was wondering if there is a quick fix for this cause I ll be shipping out to bootcamp in a few months and I need them to heal.
