Hello,
From the way you are describing it sounds like you may have acute tonsillitis with few enlarged lymph nodes, along with antibiotics you should also be taking anti inflammatory tablets and start gargling with Luke warm water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Rachana Gaddipati
