Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have tonsillitis. You should take broad spectrum antibiotics like azithromycin or amoxiclav. If your condition remains persistent then you should go for examination. Tonsil cancer can be diagnosed by biopsy and treatment is surgical removal of tonsil followed by chemotherapy according to type and spread of cancer.
However at your age tonsil cancer is rare so don't worry much about that. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
