Please Help ! prostatitis and tonsillitis

Hello,
I am a 21 years old male, I had prostatitis a year ago, I don't know what the cause is. But I didn't take any antibiotics, the doctor prescribed me some supplements. Then I had a urinary tract infection and I took antibiotics and I recovered. After 2 months I noticed that my tonsils are swollen with no pain, so I ignored it
I had a difficulty to swallow and yellowish mucus coming out every morning. Now, I have pain in my tonsils, it is very severe, and I don't know what to do..
Is it linked to prostatitis because the bacteria went to the blood stream to reach the tonsils or what might be the explanation ?
I am really worried about Heart Rheumatism which is strongly associated with tonsillitis, especially that I am having chest pain ,difficulty to breath and my fitness is worsening (I become tired very quickly)..
I am also afraid of tonsillectomy (extraction of tonsils) which I may require >_<..
I am lost.. any help please..

Your bacterial tonsillitis is NOT connected to your chronic prostatitis at all. They are two different issues. You need to have your tonsillitis treated now with appropriate antibiotics.

By the way, my tonsils have been swollen for a year with no pain !
And I still have prostatitis symptoms (difficulty to urinate, urinating very often at night, lower back pain, pain in the anus.. etc) and they are becoming more and more severe.. :(
