What Is The Suggestion For A Hard Lump On My Left Tonsil That Bleeds?

I have a hard lump on my left tonsil that bleeds. I recently just was sick with what seemed like 3 seperate bugs. My throat was extremely sore and now it is only sore on the left side of my where the lump/bleeding occurs. It is an odd lump that just protrudes off my tonsil.
