What Causes White Lumps Behind Tonsils?

Hi. I've just found three white lumps behind my tonsils on my soft palete. I'm pretty much have OCD over my mouth and have just seen these today. ( I check nearly daily). Now, I suck my thumb and my dental hygiene isn't great. They don't hurt, haven't really grown since I've seen them and cause no pain or discomfort at all. When I prodded at them they didn't go away. Just wondering what it could be? I also have bigger than normal tonsils (which I've had all my life).
