What Is The Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Tonsils?

Hello! For the past 4 days my right tonsil has hurt about a 3 out of 10 and when I swallow its about a 5 out of 10 on the pain scale like a sharp quick pain. Not really any swelling and no white spots. My tonsil does look rather strange with grooves or lines in it like ground hamburger. No other symptoms though. I have had mono about 5 years ago.
