Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The pellets which can be removed and which are causing bad breath can be due to tonsoliths. These are made up of food particles, dead cells, and oral bacteria. Together these form hardened white balls and cause bad breath. The clue could be oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day, rinse your mouth after every meal, and use a tongue cleaner. Most tonsils go away by good oral hygiene. Some you can scrape off yourself. Others a doctor can remove, especially an ENT. IIf they still persist performed. Please consult an ENT.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
