You seem to be having keratosis pharyngeus where whitish keratin debris get collected in your pharynx and come out when you cough. Usually no treatment is required. You can try using antiseptic mouth gargle
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
