It would be impractical to provide you with the rational diagnosis only based on the description that you have mentioned. You can post a clinical picture of the affected area for a better opinion. You might also require a consultation with an ENT specialist for the tonsil problem. A consultation with an oral pathologist can help you to rule out whether you have oral herpes or not. Regards
