Help!

So I have a problem...

Last Friday I noticed that when I swallowed it felt like there was food stuck on the back of my tongue that I couldn't get down.  I didn't notice it all the time, so I figured I was just being silly.  Saturday I noticed it a little more but it still wasn't that bad.  Sunday, however, I was noticing it a lot and started to freak out a little.  When I looked in the mirror I didn't see anything so I thought it was all in my mind.  Finally, I had my bf look into my mouth to see if he could find anything and at first he didn't see anything so I started saying "aahhhhh" like the doctors have you do and he saw something!  I have a big white spot on my right tonsil.  NASTY.  It looks like a piece of popcorn jammed up in there.  I started freaking out.  We looked it up on the internet and saw that it was most likely a tonsil stone (!?).  Most people can get them out on their own with a q-tip.  I tried to get it out, I really did.  But I have a really bad gag reflex.  Like it's hard for me to take a pill.  So, after a few days I decided I needed to go to the doctor.  So I drove 2 hours home to go to the doctor.  I got in there and he told me some food particles had gotten stuck on my tonsil.  (Ew.)  He said they are pretty common and were nothing to worry about unless they got infected.  He then continued to put a huge Popsicle stick down my throat.  Of course I started gagging and he was just like "yea, your gag reflex is too much.  You are going to have to go to a specialist."  Thanks, a lot doc!  So I drove 2 hours for a 5 minute attempt from him.  Sheesh.  So for now I am trying to get it out myself.  I tried a q-tip, salt water, lemon juice, hot tea, a water pick, shooting water at it from a baby medicine dropper.  It is stuck.

If you can think of any other ways to get it out, please let me know!  I really don't want to have to go to another doctor.  Oh life, you are just full of surprises
