Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Could be phlegm , or plaque/ tonsilolith produced by bacteria in the mouth, these get caught within the tonsils and may be dislodged later. Nothing to worry about. But they indicated bad hygiene. So frequent rising of mouth, gargles twice a day should be done, in addition to an examination by ENT doctor.
Takecare.
