You seem to be looking at whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. Usually it can occur because of reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder or chronic throat irritation such as Post nasal discharge. Usually no treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
