yep, those are gross! They are called Tonsil STones. Remember, any place where fluids from the lymph are stores or released into paths of elimination can form stones if these exit paths or storage areas are blocked up due to swelling and infection and too much mucous or protein. Look deeper for the true cause - congested bowels, liver and lymph, bad diet, weak digestion. Get the stones OUT and keep gargling for a week wtih ACV, salt, colloidial silver, as you cleanse your bowels and dry brush etc. and the siutation should resolve.
