My left tonsil is red and has a little spot on it, but it looks like my tonsil has shrunken and there is something like a bump behind it too?

This sounds: like chronic irritation of your tonsils which at your age SHOULD BE small.. Are you a smoker??? Have you had frequent tonsillitis in the past?? Try gargling with salt water several times a day Hope this helps! Dr Z
