You seem to be suffering from tonsillolith which is nothing but calcified debris over the tonsils. Clinical examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Cancer of tonsils is a very rare condition and very unlikely in your case
