I'm not a doctor but it sounds as if you have Strep Throat.
Check this link out and again see the doctor, this may get worse.

Well, I don't have my tonsils; i got them taken out when i was 6..however, it may be strep throat. I got that all the time when i was little. Strep throat is VERY contagious, so you should get to a doctor right away! They just swab the back of your throat and then test it. You will get your results within a few days. I hope this helped and good luck with your sore throat! Feel better soon. :-)

Sounds like it may be strep. Need to go back to doc. Did he do a culture or put you on a broad spectrum antibiotic? He should do a culture to determine which antibiotic the bug is sensitive to. In the meantime, you can gargle with salt water, about 1/4 tsp to half glass of water. This is a miracle. You can do it several times a day. Good luck!!
