thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....
see a black spot on tonsil may be because of some reasons like a sore throat, a foreign body, some small tumors etc....
if you have associated fever, difficulty in swallowing etc it points to sore throat....difficulty or irritation in swallowing can be with foreign body also....
it is better to visit an ENT specialist, get it properly checked and then only a definite diagnosis can be made....
hope this was helpful....
