What Causes Recurrent Swelling In The Tonsils?

Hi Dr. I somehow think that eating pork is one of the reasons my tonsils get often infected or swollen. My throat felt a bit swollen 4 days back (saturday) and I was extremely exhausted on the day and had itchy eyes. I got better day after(Sunday) but still a bit sluggish. I ve started having fatigue once again since Monday. This time it s accompanied by numb feeling on feet with a bit of Sharp shooting pain and Sharp headache that comes and goes. I feel completely worn out and sleep frequently only to wake up feeling worse, I.e since today(tuesday)
