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 repeated throat pain, foul smelling from mouth no treatment is necessary. You can try doing antiseptic mouth gargle
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
