Worried about throat symptoms. What could they be?

Ok so. 

My mum suspected my younger brother has tonsillitis. I got ill a day after i had gone into their house. But i was near him at all.

So i checksd and found little white dots that you normally see in tonsillitis. But i yawned just now and the pain vanished. It felt likeni swallowed something or somethings stuck at the back of my throat.

After a minute the pain is comming back a little. But not anywhere as close to the pain i was experiencing before...

Any ideas??

    Hi and thanks for your post

    It's not possible for anyone on a forum to diagnose symptoms and we would always encourage you to get checked out by a doctor if you have any symptoms you may be worried about.

    Infection and inflammation are common symptoms ,  especially in the younger age groups.

    It may be best not to go on cancer forums as no one here can say what is going on for you and there are usually many more obvious explanations other than cancer.

    I hope things settle down soon for you and if not, do make an appointment with your doctor.

    All the best
