I don't have my tonsils, but i have red bumps where my tonsils were and they are painful. what could they be?

Pharyngitis : Likely. Viral pharyngitis. Use warm saline gargles and pain meds and it should resolve. Antiviral s can be given if this is a recurring problem, but they are not 100 percent effective. Good luck! hope you feel better soon.
