Swollen tonsils no sore throat

I've been having a sore throat for about 3 weeks now. I was put on a 10 day prescription of amoxicillin to treat a sinus infection which did not help. Currently, both tonsils are swollen, but the right side hurts more than the left when swallowing, yawning etc. If I take ibuprofen the swelling & pain lessen, but eventually returns.
