Usually a week sometimes two. Have you got antibiotics? If it continues for a long period you may have to have them removed.

If tonsillitis is caused by bacteria, with antibiotic treatment, the illness is usually cured within 1 week. However, it may take several weeks for the tonsils and swollen glands to return to normal size. Without antibiotics, it may last 2-3 weeks and there may possibly be complications.
When tonsillitis is caused by viruses, the length of illness depends on which virus is involved. Usually, people are almost completely recovered within 1 week. No specific treatment is required. Most cases are viral.
