Took a course of antibiotics for toncillitis last week which finished on wednesday but my throat has become sore again, tonsils tender?

Not unusual: Sometimes it can take a while for symptoms to fully clear up. Give it a couple days and if it seems to be progressing, then see your doctor for exam, culture and possibly re-treatment.
