Viral Infection In Tonsils

If you get cough, cold, fever and after it a tonsil inflammation this indicated that the tonsillitis is caused by the virus.
In this case the plan to fortify your immune system and wait for infection to heal. Don't take any antibiotic as it will not be of any help, but will cause harm.
For readers who are unaware of Indian Medicine and Yoga and Pranayam, following are some details (These are my point of views, you can search these on Wikipedia)
Ayurveda : Making medicine from plants, herbs, mineral, metals and honey etc. Charak samhita is the ancient book of Ayurveda that describes the properties of these substances and mixture and ratio of these for different disease.
 Yoga :  Yoga is a method of using your own body's different posture to increase your immunity, strength, and power. Yoga is used widely for curing many disease in India.
Pranayam : In pranayam person controls his breath, to increase mental, physical and spiritual power. Pranayam is closely connected with for Dhyan and Meditation which further leads to Samadhi, the ultimate goal of yoga and pranayam.
Anyway lets return to the subject.
There are medicines and yoga that can strengthen the tonsils and other parts of upper respiratory system. The best medicine in case of viral tonsillitis is in Ayurveda, that contains Guggulu, Shankh bhashma, Maharasnadi quath, Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia) ,Amalaki (Emblica officinalis),Shigru (Moringa pterygosperma), Yashti-madhhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) , this is called Septilin as a trade name.
Pranayaam is very helpful in building up the immune system specially Ujjai and Anulom vilom pranayams are very useful.
Take care of oral hygiene as described for bacterial infection.
