Its harmless and will leave on its own. Brush 2 times a day and brush well. Use Mouthwash too

Could be a tonsil stone. Nasty little things. Collection of bacteria that form in the tonsil crevices. You can have them removed by a dentist or try to (gently) push them out yourself. Help prevent them by brushing your teeth regularly and using mouthwash. If they're persistant talk to a dentist.

I would suggest going to your doctor, to have her see what is going on with it. Doctors can give better advice than any of us, because they can actually see you and do what they need to do to make sure that they know what it is.

Hi! It's probably tonsil stones (tonsillith). It's buildup of dead tissue, mucus (maybe from post nasal drip) and bacteria.
You can try to gargle with salt water or use a water pike to flush them out. I've heard of people using a q-tip to get them out of their tonsils because they can get really aggravating, although that's probably not the safest thing to do.
I think the only permanent solution would be to remove your tonsils or try to get antibiotics from your doctor. Either way you should go to a doctor and have him/her check it out.
Hope you get better!
