Hello,
It can be a sign of tonsillitis or tonsilolith. Gargling with cold water will helps to control bleeding.
If symptoms persists surgical removal of the tonsils(tonsillectomy) will be a better option. Consult an ENT specialist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
