You seem to be looking at whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. This condition is known as keratosis pharyngeus. No specific treatment is required if it is not associated with throat pain and difficulty in swallowing. You can try using antiseptic mouth gargle
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
