hello there,
a generalized weakness, body pain including headache is common after both a severe case of quinsy and also after the intake of strong antibiotics.
if the glands are still swollen and painful that implies that the course of antibiotics was either inadequate or ineffective. consult a general surgeon or ENT for proper further treatment.
also an episode of quinsy is an indication of tonsillectomy which will safeguard you against further such attacks, kindly consult an ENT surgeon for the same.
