TONSILITIS:: Complete the course; do warm salt water gargling 4-5 times daily, keep your mouth clean, drink a lot of water, avoid sugary / carbonated beverages, make sure your nose is not blocked because mouth breathing causes more throat/tonsil infection. See your doc. For follow up.

That's ok: If you feel better, no fever, no sore throat , then don't worry about it
