swollen tonsils and sore throat

I've had a sore throat and some swollen tonsils for about 4 days. I'd like to avoid going to the doc and/or taking antibiotics (should my "condition" warrant it). I just started gargling with warm salt water today.

Am I doing the right thing?
Is there anything else I should do?
Should I just go see the doc?

You are doing right and I additionally added that you should take steam with vicks  and if it is severe than please go to doctor.
