Constant sore throat since getting dentures

On March 25th I had all of my 14 lower teeth extracted and then received an immediate full denture and while it's been a chore in of itself trying to get used to these things what's even worse is that for the past 2 weeks I've had a constant sore throat, but only in the mornings and at night...??? Naturally, I think I probably have tonsillitis or something because it's definitly NOT strep. Could someone get tonsillitis after getting new dentures? Oh, and I already have top ones that I got 2 years ago...

No you can not get tonsillitis from new dentures. Have your dentist check tongue side most posterior extension of the denture base (pink part).
