I have a pea sized blister in my throat next to my tonsil?I have like a pea sized white blister kind of thing next to my tonsil what could this be?

This is known as a tonsil stone. Pretty common actually. As you get older the lining in your tonsil becomes porous like the pores on your face. Sometimes they enlarge and junk gets stuck in there. Shows up as a white pimple looking thing. They may go away on their own, may not. There is no long term health risk to having them however they do cause bad breath. You can poke it/push it out if its within reach. It is not like puss, it is actually a solid. Kind of like a stone lol.
Gross, sure. Hazardous, na. If you do decide to pop it/push it out, youll notice a small hole like thing. Drink water, rise with mouth wash. Avoid Sugar and acidy drinks like soda. Should close up. If not youll just get another one. Only way to avoid them now is to have the tonsils removed. Your call... hope that helps.

Most likely tonsillitis. Sore throat should go along with these symptoms, and maybe fever.
Go see your doctor. Not necessarily for any kind of medicine, but to have it documented. Most doctors won't talk about having your tonsils removed until you have had tonsillitis at least four times in twelve months.
This may be the first round. If it is NOT tonsillitis the doctor will be able to diagnose and treat.
