Hi. You have keratosis tonsils, or oral thrush.
Both ard not cancerous conditions.
Nothing to worry, both can be treated.
Treatment; candid mouth paint for oral thrush .
Betadind gargle for keratosis. Keratodis ia asymptomatic condition. It may cause foreign body sensation in throat, if not no problem.
If its extensive then both tonsil has to be operated.
I feel for both condition youshould consult doctor.
