What Causes Swelling And Redness In The Tonsil?

The back of my throat is red, and my tonsil on the right side is swollen. I have also had an extremely dry mouth, and a raw tongue. My tongue is starting to feel better. But my mouth feels so dry between my lips and my gums, and my inner lips look reddish/purple and you can see the veins
