It seems like tonsillolith but detailed endoscopic evaluation is necessary

That looks like an aphthous ulcer. Take zincovit capsule for 2 weeks and gargles with warm salt water. If it doesn’t heal in 2 weeks consult a doctor in clinic.
Next Steps
Warm saline gargles, stop chewing tobacco and supari, Zincovit
