did I damage my tonsil removing a tonsil stone?

I was sick a few months back and saw a big gross tonsil stone, so my brilliant self decide to remove it with the pointed side of a disposable flosser ( basically a plastic toothpick).

Now, every few weeks or so I see a massive stone in the same place, and I remove it again and again because I'm afraid it will give me chronic bad breath if I leave it.

I fear I may have made a crater in my tonsil which allows this monstrosity to keep forming.

every time theres about 3 stones (I think, its possible Im breaking apart one big one) in this pocket in my tonsil, each about the size of an apple seed, maybe a little smaller.

So what should I do about this?

    Go to a doctor. Or just keep treating it yourself, it sounds kinda fun.
