What Causes Swollen Tonsil With Blood Blister?

My right tonsil is swollen (this is common for me). All day I have felt like something was stuck in my throat. I do get tonsil stones so I thought that was it; however when I looked I saw what looked like a blood blister on my tonsil. It is bleeding a little bit. Is this something that will just go away or should I be more concerned?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that a blood blister on the tonsil along with swollen tonsils and feeling of something struck seems to be due to Throat infection leading to Tonsillitis while can also be due to tonsil stones causing inflamed tonsils..
-I would suggest you to start gargling with warm saline solution atleast 3 to 4 times a day..
-You can also gargle with betadine solution by mixing in water..
-You can suck throat lozenges and chew a Vitamin C pellet..
-Avoid spicy and hard foods to prevent further irritation..
-You can also sip on warm water throughout the day..
Once the symptoms gets resolved you can get the tonsil stones removed by an ENT expert or can remove on your own with a q-tip.
To limit the formation of tonsil stones you can start gargling with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water..
You can also gargle with water after each meal..
You can also limit dairy intake as it cause more stone formation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
