Hello
It seems from the history that you are having painful swollen tonsils associated with white pus...
All these symptoms indicate infection and inflammation of the tonsils called as tonsillitis.
This requires treatment by antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs in the acute phase.
If the attacks of tonsillitis are recurrent it requires treatment by surgery in the form of tonsillectomy.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.
Thank you
