Go to your doctor. If your tonsils are swollen you may need to hve them removed. Dont worry i had mine taken out when i was six. It hurt for a few days then goes away but for now drink alot of clear fluids,rest and cough drops and saltwater may help with the pain

Yeah, you need to go to a doc. You may have frequent tonsillitis (infection) and need them taken out.
Feel better!

"what could this be?" -- On the face of it, what this sounds like is recurrent tonsillitis. We have 3 pairs of tonsils in the head -- the palatine [PAL-uh-teen] tonsils which are also called adenoids, the pharyngeal [fair-en-GEE-el] tonsils, often referred to as simply "the tonsils" and the sublingual [sub-LEENG- gwul] tonsils, located under the tongue. We also have tonsils in the intestines called Peyer's patches. Tonsils are great for filtering out bacteria and so on and are a part of the immune system. But when they frequently become infected requiring repeated rounds of antibiotics, they will no longer be able to do their job effectively. I strongly suggest you see your primary care physician who may wish to refer you to an ENT for surgical evaluation. But first, your primary may want to try antibiotic therapy if this hasn't already been tried.
