Hello I have a swollen tonsil (hurts when I swallow) for about atleast a month now, I woke up coughing and a tonsil stone came out..im use to these, I checked in the mirror and saw what I thought was another big stone in the tonsil crypt but it was BLACK when I tried to remove it, it felt more like a mass of skin, it hurt when I pulled on it, so I left it alone. If its not a tonsil stone what is it? I also coughed up blood and have blood around the mass.
