When healing from tonsillitis would you have major throat drainage that would make you sick at your stomach?

I'm assuming you meant "sick to your stomach". If you really meant make your stomach sick, then please ignore this.
The short answer is yes. I've had more than a few cases of bacterial tonsillitis (as I do at the moment...yay!). Once you get on antibiotics, the infection starts to die, the tonsils start to contract (or whatever the right word would be for "return from swelling to a normal state"), and pus and mucus begins to drain down the throat into the stomach.
For me, this has two effects. First, the pus and snot tends to make my stomach upset, especially if I don't eat anything.
Second, the pain from the sore throat created by the swollen tonsils and drainage tends to be similar to the throat pain created by severe heartburn. So, those of us who get heartburn might interpret this as an upset stomach even though the stomach is fine. This is more of a case of "refered" pain.
