You may be looking at whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. If you don't have any symptoms such as throat pain and difficulty in swallowing then you need not worry about it
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
