Hi.

White chunks like solidified particles that
are present over tonsils seems to be tonsil stones or

Tonsilloliths that are formed due to calcification of food particles or debris over the tonsil crypts..

It is a potent cause for infection and inflammation of tonsils and bad breath..
If a chunk is large and deep it cannot come out by self removal and needs to be removed with tweezers..
Bleeding can be due to inflamed tonsil that bleeds on stimulation..

I would suggest you to remove the tonsil stones using a q-tip and in-order to reduce its formation you
should do warm saline gargles..
Gargle with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water..
Always gargle with water after meals..
Limit intake of dairy products..

In case if they are not being removed, you should consult an ENT Physician and get evaluated and they
can remove it manually using fine tweezers..
In case if still the problem does not resolve then the last resort is to get the Tonsils removed..

Hope I have answered your query.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
Dr.Honey Arora, Dentist.
