Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of tonsillectomy and the persistence of a pea sized hole to the left of the uvula.
This may be a perforation of the soft palate and supposed to be not much of importance.
This may shrivel away or may just need a small surgery for closure.
Please consult the Surgeon who operated you to have further discussion and treatment.
I hope this answer helps you.
