Tonsillitis would not go away with echinacea, and is caused by either a viral or bacterial infection. It would generally last about a week with appropriate treatment, but there are cases that tonsillitis becomes chronic and surgery to remove tonsils is necessary.
Have you been properly diagnosed with tonsillitis by a doctor? It is important to have a medical evaluation to know the underlying cause, and receive treatment based on your specific case, as an ongoing condition with ongoing symptoms lasting 8 months can lead to complications.
