Breathing problems

I have had asthma when I was younger quite badly, I haven't had it since I was nine years old.  Recently i was in the hospital due to swelling in my tonsils and they sent me home that day.  I had taken a medicine (can't remember the name) but it was pink solution and I had to gargle it and swallow it reduced my tonsils swelling a lot!  Then i was on tablets to help my tonsillitis which works until i the course ends.  But my breathing problems started on the 13th August 2010 I am 15 and have had tonsillitis for the past 6 weeks!  My chest was very tight at about six at night and it was tightness when i breathed so i took 12 puffs of my Ventolin which took it down significantly, I was just shaking (but that's normal.) Then at 10 that night it started again, I took a co-codamol which took away the pain and then I fell asleep. It's the 14th now and my left tonsil has swollen up again, my chest hurts when i take deep breaths, swallow (mucus is much soarer!), yawn, sneeze etc.  Also the bottom half of my throat has this horrible tightness when I inhale.  
Do you know what this is? or Do you know how I can treat/prevent this terrible chest pain?

The answer is that you have to see a physician, as of yesterday. Not to take self-medication.

You are way beyond the point where you need asthma medication.

You belong in an emergency room.
