The surface skin of the tonsils and throat shed just like other body surfaces. On most occasions small amounts are swallowed during feeds or at random. If you gargle & strip some of the shedding tissue in chunks, it can take the appearance described. I don't consider it worrisome. If you are concerned, discuss this with your doc.
