Hi,
The torus palatinus usually occurs in oral cavity and your symptoms are concerned with throat. Since your Dentist also told that there is no inflammation and this could be just tonsils. Just keep doing gargling with warm water with salt very frequently. You can also take paracetamol 6th hourly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
