i'm sure your doctor can look at your tonsils and tell you the cause of your throat infections. the holes in your tonsils are called "crypts" and are a natural part of the anatomy of the tonsils. these crypts are there to help the tonsils do what they do as part of your immune system. they act as a conduit for pathogens to interact with the immune system. in some people the tonsillar crypts harbor bacteria, dead cells, and food debris and can be the source of recurring or continuous infections.
