Have you tried to move that spot with a Q-tip? If you have not, you can try. Tonsil exudate and stone can be removed with the Q-tip. If it can't be moved and persists for weeks, you should be examined to rule out leukoplakia which can be a precancerous lesion in people with history of smoking. Good luck.
