Brief Answer:
TONSILLOLITH.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I hadvegone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having accumulation of white matter.

Based on your clinical details and picture, it appears to be tonsillolith (tonsillar stone).

Tonsillolith in your mouth begins when a piece of debri, be it a food particle, piece of mucus or bacteria becomes trapped in the tonsils and begins to decay. This trapping may or may not result in a tonsil inflammation. The area affected will attract other debris, and once enough has been collected, it will begin to calcify and turn into a hard, white formation a tonsil stone. Tonsilloliths may produce no symptoms, or may be associated with bad breath.

I suggest you to do gargling with warm salt water twice daily, make a habit of cleaning of oral cavity after finishing the meal (to prevent accumulation). In case of pain or halitosis (foul breath), you need to see an ent surgeon for its removal.

Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
