Hole in mouth/ throat
I have a hole in the back of my throat on the left hand side, it's swollen and bleeds a little. It's not painful just a little uncomfortable when I swallow, is this something to worry about ?

You seem to be looking at your tonsils which contains many pits and one big opening known as crypta magna. It looks like a hole. It is a normal structure and no need to worry about it
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
