Brief Answer:
Tonsillitis

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns. The second round of antibiotics you took was not recommended because you were experiencing a viral infection in which the antibiotic has no role in treating it
unfortunately the photo you sent did not show your tonsils because your tongue was high up.. but the symptoms you are experiencing suggest that you are having tonsillitis , which if has formed pus on tonsils then probably it is due to a bacterial infection which will require another round of antibiotics as ceftriaxone 1gm every 12 hours.
if these infections keep recurring then you will need to exclude causes that might lead to decreased immunity as diabetes and allergy. I hope I answered your question
