Mono?: Hopefully mono has been checked, though you didn't mention viral tests. Also, even if it is not mono there are mono like illnesses we can't (or don't routinely) check for.

Inflammation: It is possible to have aseptic (non-infectious) inflammation of the tonsils. It is also possible to have an infection with false-negative tests. You can use salt-water gargles for now. See your doctor for possible referral to an ear, nose, throat doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
