Hello.
As i understood well probably the whitish yellow stuff you are saying are in the tonsills, they are called Tonsills stone, and doesnt cause pain.
You cant do much to treat those, just clean them out with the brush or sticks. The only way to get rid of those is to take out the tonsills.
wish you all the best...
