Brief Answer:
They are sign of inflammation.

Detailed Answer:
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.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
