Small debris is created in my mouth at the end of throat left side and it smells bad? any reason n should i worry ?

Tonsil cheese: What you're describing is very common and goes by variety of different names including tonsil stones, tonsilliths or what i prefer "tonsil cheese." antibiotics can sometimes help, gargling can sometimes help, but the only sure cure is to remove your tonsils.
