You seem to have seen whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. This condition is known as keratosis pharyngeus. Reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder is the one of the causes for this condition. Slight difference in size of one tonsil is not really abnormal
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
