What Causes Swelling And Red Spots On My Tonsils?

Hi Doctor. I am a university student. I am registered at a GP Practice in my local area at home, some 200 miles away, but havent registered here. 2 Days ago I started getting a sore throat, hard to swallow food and drink and talk. I thought nothing of it at first, but this morning, when I looked, I could see my tonsils were swolen, bright red and have purple spots on it. I believe I have tonsilitus. However, when I looked on the internet, it said people with tonsilitus have white spots. I have been taking Ibrufen since the beginning but it hasnt helped. Please help.
