Yes you can consult GP for antibiotics.
You are suffering from membranous tonsillitis. You need to start an immediate course of antibiotics like amoxycillin 500mg thrice daily and analgesics like paracetamol. The antibiotics should be continued fr at least seven days for a complete cure and to avoid any further recurrence.
To add, do gargling with warm saline at least thrice a day
