I want to know can an ulcer develop on a tonsil? because i find it so hard to swallow food even my own saliva..

Possibly: It is possible to develop an aphthous ulcer in the area, but you'll want to have it evaluated by an ENT. If it's an aphthous ulcer, it'll likely resolve in a couple of weeks. If it's tonsillitis, you may need antibiotics.
