Tonsil debris: The tonsils have many folds and crevices that can allow material to be trapped in there-sometimes leading to symptoms such as bad breath or a scratchy throat feeling. You're right about the gagging -it can therefore be an issue to remove them. I recommend a water pistol, or a plastic ziplock bag with a hole in it. If that doesn't work see an ENT. Sometimes tonsils have to be removed for recurrence
