hello,
redness, swelling , pain all indicate tonsilitis. along with this you have pharyngitis which leads to redness of back of throat.
do salt water gargles with luke warm water. paracetamol to be taken for pain and reduction in inflammation.
if you notice pus or the tonsils are so enlarged that it is getting difficult to eat, kindly consult a doctor. a short course of antibiotics would be required along with a throat swab culture and some routine tests like cbp, crp.
if tonisilitis occcurs very frequently its advisable to get tonsils removed
hope this helps. have a nice day
