Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query you have body ache, swelling in the throat and dizziness which is due to viral infection leading to inflamed tonsils known as Tonsillitis. The symptoms are probably occurred due to viral infection. The symptoms will go away in few days by its own. You should take Ibuprofen or Naproxen to relieve pain and inflammation of tonsils. You can gargle with a numbing mouthwash for relief of pain.
Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Use mist humidifiers in room. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily. You should give rest to your throat speak less. Go for steam inhalation. Visit an ENT specialist once and get it thoroughly examined. Start treatment after proper diagnosis along with this go for lab tests such as blood and swab test. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis.
