You might be looking at whitish debris over tonsils which is not really abnormal. If you don't have any symptoms such as throat pain and foreign body sensation in the throat then you need not worry

Next Steps

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can do salt water gargling
