Hi,
welcome to healthcare magic..

i had gone through your question..nothing to worry..
this is an acute tonsillitis..i recommend the following..
1) a course of antibiotic amoxicillin with clavulinic acid better than cilicaine..
2) Tab paracetamol with aceclofinac for pain relief

the above recommendations will give you a better control..there is no other way am sorry..wish you a speedy recovery..
