As it is commonly recurring problem it would be better to go for adenotonsillectomy. For time being First start with an antibiotics and anti inflammtory drugs for your infection and pain to get subside. Mouth gargling is also to be done thrice daily. once your infection subsides then you can plan your surgery.
