Is It A Mistake That I Injected Hydrogen Peroxide Into Lump?

My tonsil has been infected for a few days with a huge whitish gray lump on it. I didn't go to the doctor because I have no insurance and last time my bill was over 3000 dollars. What I decided to do was probably stupid but I took a brand new sharp suringe and stuck it in my tonsil and sucked out whatever was inside of it.. Now a few hours later it just looks like there's a slit in the whitish grey lump. So I filled the suringe with hydrogen peroxide and shot it into the slit. Then it was bubbling like crazy. Did I just make a big mistake?
