I was using qtipsearbuds to clean my ear canals and might have gone in too deep because when I pulled it out, it was bloody and now my ear hurts. Could this mean I ruptured my eardrum? What should I do about it?

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my mouth or throat for the past couple of days, and when I checked, I saw a small white spot inside my throat. It feels like a piece of food is stuck there, but drinking water hasn't helped at all. Could this be some kind of boil or an infection? I'm a bit worried and would love your advice on this.
