Swollen tonsil sore. White green puss

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

I'm 21 male about 200lbs 6,1 with little to no problems when it comes to being sick. Dental hygiene could be better. But I've been noticing that my right tonsil was swollen with my tongue. So I proceeded to look at it in the mirror only to notice it was swollen 3 times the size as the other with the white and green pus looking thing on it. What does it look like to you medical experts does it deserve an ER visit. I've also been taking antibiotics for the last 2 days to help slow infection down.
