You could be having an infected tonsil the way you have described it.
Do you have fever? You could be having an apthous ulcer too which is quite painful & you will have difficulty in swallowing.
If you an infection then an antibiotic course will help. If it is an apthous ulcer then a calcium syrup along with folic acid will help.
