Hello
Thanks for asking HCM
There are chances you have enlarged tonsils . They might be enlarged either due to nasal infection or dental carries or reflux disease.
There are crypts or opening on the surface of tonsil. You must be looking at that. Otherwise an ulcer In throat pains like anything.
You need to look for the cause I described earlier, and get treatment accordingly.
In doubt do reply.
