hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm.
Swollen tonsil with white patch and ear discomfort indicate that it might be due to infection of the tonsil. Infection causes tonsil to swell, causes pain and ear discomfort.
My recommendation would be that get physically examined by doctor for tonsil infection .Till then drink plenty of water and do salt water gargling thrice daily.
