Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC ..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that pain and burning in throat along with white patches on tonsils seems to be due to bacterial infection in throat also known as Strep throat and white patches seems to be pus pockets..
Nothing to worry, you should continue taking the medicines advised to you by your Physician, do warm saline gargles and steam inhalation..
Suck throat lozenges and chew a Vitamin C pellet daily..
Take a soft diet and avoid spicy and chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
