I really feel for you if you have tonsillitis
I used to get it twice a year after I had glandular fever at 17. weirdly I havent had it since being pg with Caitlin.
Anti-bi's were the only thing that worked for me. I would have it so bad though id have a high temp, sweats, vomiting, unable to get out of bed and sleep for 2-3 days only waking up for water/pee.
Without a doc all I can suggest is paracetamol, hot drinks, soups etc. Maybe a anti-bac throat spray thing.
Really hope you feeling better soon, it really is horrible! x
