This is a very common thing to happen if you have a virus in your body. These pumps are known as tonsil stones. These stones are not physically harmful and are caused by sore throat, headaches, excess phlegm, earaches, coughing and foul-smelling breath. Although these stones usually will heal and go away on their own there are cases where a physician may need to prescribe medication to help with the virus. You can try to gargle with salt water or by gently brushing them with a toothbrush to help pop them.

Why do you have white bumps on your tonsles?

It's possible that you have strep throat. You should get a strep test just in case. Just visit a doctor, and they'll swipe a swab on the back of your throat. If the strep test is negative, then the doc may figure out another illness you may have. There's definitely something up with your throat tho.
