Normally tonsil contains a hole known as crypta magna. In some individuals it may be prominent and also you may find whitish that debris inside it then it's called as keratosis pharyngeus. If you don't have any symptoms such as throat pain, difficulty swallowing, bad breath no treatment is necessary
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
