Tonsillitis: It is a possibility to have tonsillitis from chlamydia if you have oral sex with someone who was diagnosed with chlamydia.

Well: You can have a throat swab done for chlamydia and gonorrhea in order to rule those out. Both can cause throat infections and both are easy to treat. Allergies don't tend to cause as much pain and inflammation of the tonsils as infections do.
