Tonsillectomy issues, getting worse
I had chronic tonsil stones so my ENT decided it was time for my tonsils to come out. A week later I coughed up a blood clot and the ENT found another one so I had to go back and get an emergency surgery. I thought I had recovered. Since I started school and started singing in choir two weeks ago, it’s been slowly getting worse by the day, and I feel like I’m being stabbed in the left side of my throat (where he surgically removed the blood clot) when I laugh and it hurts all the time now

Chronic tonsillitis with tonsillolith which is causing chronic pain even after removal needs complete removal of the tonsils. For time being you can use analgesics for symptomatic pain relief but consider undergoing tonsillectomy which will give permanent relief
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
