Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain the white balls that comes out of your mouth seems to be tonsil stones or Tonsilloliths and can occur due to calcification of debris and food particles that gets impacted over the tonsils..
They are bad smelly and can also cause bad smell in mouth as well as recurring throat infections..
You should use a q-tip to remove the stones and to prevent them from occuring you should do warm saline gargles twice a day.
Gargle with water after you eat anything.
Limit the intake of high calcium containing foods and dariry products as it can speed up the formation of stones.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
