You seem to have tonsilloliths, i.e. tonsil stones. These are fairly common. But if they are frequent enough they can be the sign of chronic tonsillitis, and may require treatment.
Health Tips
maintain good oral hygiene. do antiseptic/warm salt water gargles daily twice. this should take care of it. if the problem still presist, you can book a consultation. thanks
