It depends how deeply embedded the stones are in the tonsillar tissue ... If superficial , they can be managed with gargling and all... But if deeply embedded then u need to see a doctor ... And if the problem is chronic then u can get ur tonsils removed so that this issue never happens again

Common features of this problem (tonsillolith)
Usually comes out on its own, sometimes manual removal by a doctor is the solution.
Gentle gargling after every meal is what keeps it under check.
It is a harmless thing..
If bothers too much removal of tonsils by surgery is the treatment.
