Tonsil Trouble

I have had recurring problems with my throat. it started almost 10 months ago. we were out drinking, i touched the gound and the hand went in the mouth. within 1 week my mouth was covered in little bumps and my tonsils were swollen. I saw the dr. 6 or 7 times. first i was told bacterial or fungal infection. then i was told virus, then strep. then virus, then strep. I was tested for HIV and Mono and also had a full immunity panel done and was A-OK. within about 2 months or so, after all the different antibiotics etc. the bumps went away and i had little or no problem. my insurance ran out and I gave up. then it started again. however i no longer have any bumps, just constant swollen tonsils and a feeling of heavy mucous when i swallow. today my throat is especially sore, and right near the tonsil on the right there seems to be some type of sore. like a puncture. I am a 27 year old female who has HSV-1 in the Nether regions. I have never experienced HSV in or on my mouth EVER. I do smoke about 1/2 pack a day. Otherwise I am in excellent health. Should I be overly concerned? Or will some goldenseal, echinacea and Vitamin C take care of this?
