Hi, thanks for the query.
In my opinion you are having Chronic tonsilitis.
Most likely she will let you go for tonsil removal surgery after antibiotic course.
Start antiseptic mouthwash , Plenty of fluids , combination of Paracetemol + Ibuprofen , Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Montelukast , Antibiotic azithromycin , Vit C for 5 days. Consider tonsil removal surgery after this treatment plan.
Hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
