Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your query it seems that you have an Upper Respiratory tract infection caused by viral infection leading to the symptom that you have and white patches on tonsils seems to be due to secondary bacterial infection leading to follicular tonsillitis along with viral..
You should take a course of antibiotics like Levofloxacin or Azithromycin for 5 days..
Take tylenol for reducing fever..
Decongestant like Pseudoephadrine [sudafed] and mucolytics like Bromohexine can help in relieving congestion and easy drainage of mucus.
Do steam inhalations and warm saline gargles.
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
