It is known as Tonsillolith. Basically, it is just food that was trapped inside deep crypts of your tonsils which over time rot under the influence of certain anaerobic bacteria and salivary enzymes. Subsequently, layers of calcium deposit over it as well as dead keratin from the tonsil surface squamous epithelium. There is only one solution for this. LASER assisted Tonsillar Cryptolysis.
