You seem to be suffering from reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder. In this condition there can be formation of whitish debris over tonsils and pharynx which is known as keratosis pharyngeus. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few weeks for long term benefits
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
