Maybe COVID19 : Can’t be sure without a nose or throat test, but sure sounds like coronavirus. Cannot give specific advice on this site but self-quarantine for 10 days after you BEGIN to feel better. Call doctor if severe cough, shortness of breath or confusion. Fluids, acetaminophen will help. Tonsils +/- don’t make a difference
