If you don’t have any pain or other features of upper respiratory infection, this could be tonsillar keratosis - harmless debris being extruded from Inside the tonsil. This is not dangerous in any way, and can be managed by frequent gargles, or even manual removal. Can use warm saline for gargling or chlorhexidine solution.
Next Steps
Frequent gargles after meals
