Hello!
the white seeds are actually partially digested food particles which have undergone some bacterial degradation also, hence the foul smell!
Your tonsils have deep pits called the CRYPTS , these particles tend to lodge in them and get colonised by bacteria!
i would recommend that you gargle after every meal with warm salt water!
that will help
thanks
