Suggest Treatment For Tonsillitis

My tonsils are swollen and I have a bump that appears to be a whitehead on the left tonsil. My skin has been healing very slowly recently and gets irritated from the slightest touch. I have had tonsillitis before and got rid of it with amoxicillin. Could this be chronic? What should I do? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tonsillitis can be because of the bacterial infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. You can get a culture and sensitivity done to find out the causative organism and treat the infection. If the infection is still recurring, then you need to get tonsillectomy done.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
