i'm not exactly sure, but i don't think so.  if you have white patches on your tonsil, that's one of the sure signs of Strep Throat.  but if it doesn't hurt, i don't know what it could be.  you should get that checked - a simple visit to the doctors office shouldn't hurt.  it's better to know for sure and get the worries out of your head.
