Hello
It may be tonsillitis i.e. viral or bacterial infection of tonsills. Please mention your age & other symptoms like fever, headache, etc.

it could be recuurent sore throat. The hanging thing is uvula and not tonsils but recurrent sore throat is sugestive of tonsilitis. If you are getting tonsilitis more than 3 times in a year or 4 times in 2 years it is an indication for tonsilectome
