Tonsil stones: Without being able to see the 'white stuff" have no way to know what this is, but if you do not have symptoms would just observe for a day or two to see if it resolves. If you get more tonsillar exudate, fever, sore throat, and so on, go and see a doctor.

A week ago, I looked in my throat and saw a tiny whitish lump on my tonsil. It looks almost like a pus-filled bubble - round, smooth, superficial, no more than 2mm. I cant touch it, but it looks like it would be soft. It is not a stone. What is it?
