I'm having trouble finding an answer. i have been coughing up one little white speck at a time randomly. they don't stink and i don't have tonsils.

Mucous?: Probably just some excess mucous that is normally secreted in the back of the throat, near the common passageway of the throat and nose. If you're really concerned something is wrong, consider a consultation with an ENT specialist. Hope this helps!
