Tonsils and throat issues

Question

Asked for Female, 14 Years

Hi, I've previously had tonsillitis many times but not enough to have them removed. When I looked at them before, one was enlarged and had "holes" covering the surface of it. The other, is normal size but still covered in "holes". I'm not sure if this matters but I also have small bumps at the back of my throat.
