What are those boils

Question

Asked for Male, 18 Years

Hi I am Jude Serrao aged 18. I am an ex cigarette smoker . I smoked 4 cigarettes a day daily for 10 months. However I have developed some boils below both my tonsils. I can't click a pic because they aren't visible but I felt them if I put my finger. Is it something to worry about as it's slightly painful when touched. Is it benign growth or cancerous?
