I've been noticing these holes in my tonsils for a while now, and it seems like they're getting worse. Is this something that happens normally, or should I be thinking about getting my tonsils removed?

I've been having this pain near my left ear, like right between my jaw and tragus. It happened a few months ago too but went away eventually. Now it's back, and it gets worse when I bite down on something. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and how to fix it?

That could be TM joint synovitis, visit Dentist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been experiencing something strange in my throat where I can feel my uvula after waking up with a dry mouth. It's not painful, but it's really bothersome. I've never noticed my uvula like this before, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried?

It sounds like your uvula might be slightly swollen or dry, which can happen with a dry mouth. Try drinking water to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. If it continues to feel uncomfortable or bothersome, its a good idea to see a doctor to rule out any other causes.
