Tonsil irritating HELP

I think I might have a tonsil stone or something because I feel like there’s something in the back of my throat and it’s really bothering me to the point where I gag because it’s so uncomfortable. I tried looking back there but my tongue is annoying and gets in the way (so hard to control!) and it looks to be inflamed? I tried to touch it with a q-tip but I saw blood transferred on and the area started to burn. I might’ve saw a sliver of white I’m not entirely sure because of how difficult it is to look at the back of your mouth. I tried looking stuff up but I haven’t found anything useful. I’ve had tonsil stones before and I’ve successfully removed a couple and some came out themselves but this one is just ugh. What should I do? I don’t think I have any virus because I don’t have any flu symptoms (referring to strep throat etc)
