Thank you for your query.

Tonsilloliths - are small deposits of Tonsillar exudata(fluid) or food particles than lodge in the small pits of the tonsils.
These usually get washed away when we gargle, drink water, cough. However, if the pits are deep and then deposits stagnate, small hard stone-like structures form.
This can cause halitosis(bad breath). Some may dislodge itself, others need to be removed by a professional. Nothing to be worried about
Visit your doctor, who will examine you and suggest appropriate remedies based on the findings.
Prevention by washing your mouth, gargling after every meal, drinking enough water will help.
