See physician: Gargling with warm salt water may help. It is probably time to see a physician who may prescribe an anibiotic or recommend the tonsils be removed.

Mouth ulcers: The ulcers in your throat areusually caused by a virus and antibiotics will not work. Eat cold things like ice ceam or popsicles or have warm soups and liquids, whatever feels more soothing. Otherwise, ask your doctor for a prescription for 2 per viscous Lidocaine to help kill the pain.
