Sore Throat, Swollen, Discolored Tonsils Near Uvula, No Cough. Treatment Options?

The past month and half I ve had a steady sore throat . A feeling like I need a glass of water. No pain when swallowing , no coughing. But it s lasted this long without going away. I looked into the mirror with a flashlight and I believe they re the tonsils, but the 2 small shapes next to the uvula are discolored, yellow, and with veins showing up. But the pain feels deeper down.
