Healing tissue: The throat tissue was likely red, irritated and injured during your bout of tonsillitis. Now that you have finished treatment, it needs to heal. Just like healing skin is often sensitive and 'itchy' for weeks after an injury, your mucous membranes are similar. They are often more sensitive for weeks after, so unless there is pain, fever, etc i would just push fluids, use lots of humidity and wait!
