The tonsillolith can be extracted or left as such. it will fall off spontaneously in few days.
There is nothing alarming to be worried about.

Chronic tonsillitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Apology for the delayed reply.
The picture shows tonsillitis. Thrush us usually not localised and your lesion is not thrush.
You should continue with the antibiotics for 5 days course and take tablet vitamins c once daily.
Do hexidine gargles. The tonsillolith will fall off eventually.
Any further questions are always welcome.
Wishing you a speedy recovery

Thanks and regards
