Coughed up white stinky ball 2nd time in past couple months; what can i do? should i be worried? has never happened previously.

Tonsillar stone: This was probably a tonsillar stone, caused by impaction of food stuffs into the crypts in the tonsil. If you are not having any sore throat or fever with these, there is nothing much that needs to be done for them. You can gargle with warm salt water to help loosen these.
