it can be follicular tonsillitis or membraneous tonsillities
the red lump which u mentioned in the question creates the confussion - i am not sure whetherr u were mentioning about the infected tonsils or is it the begining of peritonsilar abscess. visualisinhg the lession only gives the clue. i would suggest you t o consult an ent surgeon. whatever may the cause u need antibiotic treatment. if its peritonsilar abscess treatment varies
