With it being in your mouth and you not being able to get a good look it will be kinda hard to tell.

It could be strep throat, tonsil stones amount other things. I would consult your Dr. Try to gargle with hot salt water, clean them gently with a q tip and drink sprite in a can.  The salt water has cleaning properties, q tip can let you get a better view and let you know if it is pus or a harder substance and the sprite in a can has more carbonation than bottle and if it is a stone that can sometimes bubble it loose.
