Holes in my throat

Question

Holes in my throat

Asked for Female, 17 Years

For the past week or so, my throat has been sore. I checked it last night to make sure it's just a cold symptom & nothing else, but found holes/tears on/near my tonsils. I just saw an ENT specialist & he says it's from my cold, but I really don't believe that because how could my throat just tear like that if I haven't been coughing or anything until just last night? Plus I saw my primary care doctor an hour beforehand & she said she's never seen holes like that before & referred us. Thoughts??
