Dear I seems you might be having the tonsil infection since long,were there any symptoms like pain in throat,fever then. As of now we can start with a regular warm water girgling along with a analgesic for the head ache and throat pain. In such cases we usually advise for a throat examination by your treating doctor. hope this helps most welcome for further queries.
