Answers:

OH yes that can bruise your vocal cords by doing that and leave you with lung damage. You just used different muscles that you weren't used to. Give it another day or so and if it gets worse, admit what you did to a doc (and if you dont want to do that, the school nurse).

You're tonsils will be fine- they barely take those out any more unless you have ear infections all of the time.

here's a good voice site: http://vocalcorddamage.webstarts.com/

and you can also join in on a voice forum where people post their voice problems all of the time:

"Inhaling Helium can also result in serious lung injuries and/or suffocation. Do not inhale Helium from a balloon or a Helium tank under any circumstances! "

you constricted your vocal chords, it cant help and could cause inflammation which in turn could lead to infection. Gargle salt water
