Gargle with hot salt water. DON'T SWALLOW IT!

Tonsillitis caused by a virus will usually go away on its own. Antibiotics are not effective treatment for viral tonsillitis.
The virus that causes mononucleosis (mono) can lead to tonsillitis that is as severe as tonsillitis caused by bacteria, and can take several weeks or more before it goes away.
Home treatments such as gargling with salt water, drinking warm tea, and taking nonprescription pain medication for children age 6 months and older can help relieve discomfort. Nonprescription pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, should be given to children instead of aspirin. No one age 20 years or younger should take aspirin because of its link to Reye's syndrome. Acetaminophen should not be given to infants younger than 6 months without first consulting your health professional.
Many nonprescription remedies such as antiseptic mouthwashes, decongestants, and antihistamines contain extra ingredients that don't relieve discomfort. These remedies are not recommended for children because they have not been proven to have any benefits in the treatment of acute tonsillitis.4

I'm sorry you're not feeling well but sometimes what appears to be tonsillitis could actually be an allergy so if you can take an allergy med with rest and less stress you might feel better shortly. I hope you're feeling better soon
