Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and attached image. Here is my advice.

As per your history and attached image, it may be due to tonsillitis.

For detailed clinical examination, I would suggest you to consult with ENT specialist. He may procure complete blood count, throat swab sos as per evaluation. You may require antibiotic tablet azithromycin after consultation.

Till then continue steam inhalation twice a day. Do betadine or saline gargles. For headache you can take tablet acetaminophen. Keep yourself hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
