Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain there is a probablity that you have infection in the side of throat where you have severe pain that seems to be due to post surgical complication..
Pain seems to be most probably due to infection..
Secondly it can also be nerve related pain if there was any accidental nerve injury during the Tonsillectomy procedure..
Consult your treating surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation has to be done..
In case if there is infection antibiotics and painkillers will be given..
As of now take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and also gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
