Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to tonsil stones. Tonsil stones are calcium deposits that form in small cracks in the tonsils. They occur due to a buildup of food particles, mucus, and bacteria. They may appear as white or sometimes yellow spots on the tonsils. I suggest gargling with salty water. There is no need for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
