It's tonsillolith tonsil stone.
It is because of food particles stuck in tonsilar crypt. Just do gargle after eating anything. You can use betadine gargle

As tonsils have crypts and grooves so many a times food get stuck there and turns into an tonsillolith . Many a times its not symptomatic, no need to worry if not symptomatic like bad breath or recurrent sore throat.
