Please tell me which toothpaste you are using? If it is not colgate then change it, if it is colgate use regularly don't change it. If you have bad breath then probably it is due to bad oral hygiene so if you want to know about bad oral hygiene . If you notice these symptoms like bleeding gums, tooth mobility and bad breath then you have pyorrhoea. Pyorrhoea treatment is cleaning of your teeth early as possible in covid situation.and tonsils increased due to mouth infection so you can eat some antibiotics and analgesic also.

Start warm saline gargle ( not rinse) thrice daily.
This will help with your tonsils.
The bad breath could be a result of tonsil infection.
If not, food accumulation could be a reason.
In that case floss whenever you feel food stuck between your teeth.
