Hello, a blister or ulcer on the tonsil can occur due to a viral infection, irritation, or tonsillitis.
Since you are pregnant, medication should be chosen carefully after assessing your symptoms.
Advice:
Gargle with warm salt water 3–4 times daily.
Drink plenty of fluids and take warm liquids for relief.
Avoid spicy, acidic, and very hot foods.
Do not start antibiotics or medicated throat lozenges without medical advice.
If you have pain or fever, paracetamol is generally considered safe during pregnancy when used as advised by your doctor.

Could even be tonsillitis as well.
With background of pregnancy you can't use any medication as such.
If it's just a blister, no need of antibiotics or unsafe analgesic

Blisters on one tonsil can occur due to a viral infection or other causes, so an examination is needed to identify the cause. For now, try warm salt-water gargles, drink plenty of fluids, and take paracetamol if needed for pain, as it is generally considered safe during pregnancy when used as directed. Avoid self-medicating with antibiotics or other medicines. Please seek urgent medical attention if you develop difficulty swallowing, breathing difficulty, a muffled voice, or increasing one-sided throat pain or swelling..

Hello,
A blister or ulcer on one tonsil during pregnancy may be caused by viral throat infection, an aphthous ulcer (mouth ulcer), tonsillitis, or local irritation.
Most minor ulcers heal within 7â14 days. However, a blister on the tonsil cannot be accurately diagnosed without examining the throat.
Since you are pregnant, it is important to identify the cause before starting medication, as not all throat treatments are suitable during pregnancy.
A single ulcer does not necessarily indicate a serious infection.
Next Steps
Consult a general physician or ENT specialist for a throat examination, particularly if swallowing is painful. Gargle gently with warm salt water 2â3 times daily. Maintain adequate hydration and consume soft, easily swallowed foods. Paracetamol is generally the preferred pain reliever during pregnancy, when necessary, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration, after confirming with your treating doctor. If bacterial tonsillitis is diagnosed, your physician can prescribe a pregnancy-compatible antibiotic when indicated. Avoid self-medicating with antibiotics, oral ulcer gels, or medicated throat sprays without medical advice.
Health Tips
Avoid very spicy, acidic, or excessively hot foods that may irritate the affected area. Do not attempt to burst or scrape the blister. Avoid ibuprofen and other NSAID painkillers unless specifically prescribed during pregnancy. Seek medical attention if you develop fever, increasing one-sided throat swelling, difficulty swallowing liquids, drooling, muffled voice, or breathing difficulty. My recommendation: A throat examination is advisable before choosing medication. Simple supportive measures are usually sufficient for minor ulcers, but treatment depends on the underlying cause. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and speedy recovery!

A blister or ulcer on the tonsil during pregnancy is usually a canker sore or a mild viral throat infection, and these are common and not harmful to the pregnancy. Most settle on their own within one to two weeks.
Next Steps
Warm salt water gargles a few times a day help it heal and ease the discomfort. Paracetamol is generally considered safe in pregnancy for pain; avoid ibuprofen. Mention this at your next obstetrician visit, sooner if it isn't improving.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if fever develops, the blister grows, swallowing becomes difficult, or it hasn't improved in two weeks.
