Look in a mirror and say "ahhh"...look at the back of your throat, on the lateral (sides of your throat). You should see 2 folds (anterior and posterior pillars)...and between this lies your tonsil...one on each side. If it truly is your tonsil which is inflamed...your having some immunological response as Macro stated...if its your uvula(which is the dangling mass in the center when you say ahhh)...I would want to ask you a few other questions.
