My right tonsil has been swollen for a while now, yesterday it felt like it popped out and made my throat buzz. i also frequently get tonsil stones?

Probably cryptic tonsillitis: presents with halitosis, chronic sore throat, and expelling of foul-smelling cheesy lumps. Offending organism is not usually strep germ. I would recommend to see an ENT specialist for proper medical or surgical care.
