Also my tounge and mouth are all bumps and scabs..is it possible to get infected like that from my tonsils? I hope it goes away I had good teeth.

I am thinking you could possibly have thrush in your mouth(an overgroth of yeast from the antibiotics)If that is the case you will need to be treated for it. I am not a doctor so my best advice is to get back to the Dr. or ER immediately. [ GiddyGeezer's advice column | Ask GiddyGeezer A Question ]

What you are describing sounds like what happened to me when I had my tonsils taken out. I forget what the disease was called but I was sick for several weeks while different antibiotics were tried to clear it up.
You need to see your doctor or dentist or go back to the hospital for proper medical treatment. What you have if I am correct is also very contagious so separate what you use from what the rest of the family uses. Make sure your dishes and flatware are scrubbed in hot water and soap or in a dishwasher after each use. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
