Sore throat and a mark on right tonsil

2017-06-28 12:08:26
I've been having a sore throat and also I can see a hole on the right tonsil. At first I thought the pain is due to sore throat but when I closely looked inside my mouth with help of a camera with flash I noticed a hole and a red mark on the right tonsil.
