It started with a sharp ear pain, followed by a difficulity in swallowing food. a couple of days later I showed signs of tonsilitis in my left tonsil. started my antibiotics tablet course and painkillers but that didnt help with the severe fever, fatigue, and shivering. Went to the ER and took an antibiotics IV for 3 days but before the last day my other tonsil showed signs of swallowing. as soon as i finished the antibiotics course my fever is gone but I still have this severe throat pain

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
