I'm a bit worried because I accidentally hurt my uvula while cleaning my tongue, and now it's turned a blood red color and is really painful. Do you think I should go see a doctor, or can I just wait it out and let it heal on its own?

Question

I've had this white spot on my tonsil for a few days now, and whenever I touch it with a swab, it feels like a piece of rice comes out. It's happened a few times in the same spot, and even though I'm gargling with hot water and taking medicine, its not going away. I can feel something at the back of my mouth, but there isn't much pain. I've had tonsillitis since I was a kid, but this feels different. Plus, there's some pain in my ear. Could this be some kind of infection?
