I had tonsil stones so I decided to take them out using cotton swabs. In the process I pressed too hard on the tonsil and it started bleeding. I did?t think too much of it as it has happened before. After two days. I checked on my tonsils and there was a red spot where the bleeding has occurred. On the edge of the red spot was white and i?m not sure if I should be worried or not.
