Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
As you have been diagnosed with tonsillitis it is better you follow the advice of your doctor and take the antibiotic for full course of 5 days, if it is not treated then your doctor will change the antibiotics to a higher group. Take the antiinflammatory and analgesics along with the cough syrup. warm saline gargling three to four times a day.
take care.
