Tonsils are part of the lymphatic system and are located at the top back of the throat. There are 2 of them.
Near the tonsils are structures like the pharynx, lymph nodes, and the posterior part of the tongue. Additionally, the palatine tonsils are close to the soft palate and the uvula in the back of the throat.
Humans also possess lingual tonsils at the base of the tongue and pharyngeal tonsils, commonly known as adenoids, located in the back of the throat. These tonsils, along with the palatine tonsils, are part of the lymphatic system and help protect the body against infections.
The tonsils swell because they're part of the immune system - which is fighting off the infection.
