Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It looks like septic tonsillitis.
Gargling with listerine solution 2-3 times daily.
Give Amoxicillin + clavulanate 2 times daily for 5 days emperically.
You may get the throat swab for culture and sensitivity and give appropriate antibiotic with the advice of your doctor.
If no improvement, consult ENT surgeon
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
