What's going on with my tonsil?!


Question: What's going on with my tonsil?
Today, probably about four hours ago, I was having a bit of pain in my right tonsil, similar to how a throat feels when you're coming down with strep. I'm just getting over a cold, so I thought maybe that's what it was. It stopped hurting after about 5-10 minutes, and I didn't think about it anymore. A few minutes ago, it started hurting again, only much worse now. It's a very sharp, stabbing and burning pain, and it feels like strep when I swallow. It hurts to palpate the area under my chin where the tonsil is, and I just looked at it in the mirror, and it's red and looks like it's bleeding. I have a history of tonsil stones, but I haven't found one in years. This bout of pain was, again, about five minutes long. It's still just a little painful, a bit like the sore throat with strep, along with some ear itching/pain, and a hot, flushed feeling that's been going on since the pain started about five or so minutes ago, but it doesn't last more than 10 minutes, either time it's happened. What the heck is going on?
