You seem to be looking at whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. This condition is known as keratosis pharyngeus. Usually no specific treatment is required. If you have symptoms of reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder then anti reflux medications can be helpful
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
