Hole in throat wall!!

Hi, so i had my tonsils removed about three weeks ago, they took a long time to actually heal which I am reading is normal. I had extremely large tonsils ever since i was a child so they were extremely infected. I have healed in the actual tonsil area but have a literal hole (slim hole you could fit dime in) in the back of my throat wall. I have tried to research this and it only says hole in tonsils but this is behind my uvula on the literal back wall of my throat. One side has it and the other doesnt!!!! HELP! I am hoping it heals on its own bc I am traumatized from people touching my throat now. Does anyone know what this is? Thank u so much
