See an ENT: You should see an ear nose throat specialist if it persists. They would be the expert opinion if you are in doubt.

Tonsil stones: Sounds like tonsilloliths or tonsil stones. Harmless although they can cause a foreign body sensation and contribute to halitosis. Tonsillectomy is sometimes recommended for this indication.
