They are sign of inflammation.

Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I see the photo you attached.
Your left tonsil is swollen and red in upper part, the right one is not much swollen ,has a large crypt or whole .
The blood coloured bumps or red dots you see are inflammation of the tonsillar tissue.
You need to do gargling with salted water to help reduce inflammation.
