its cryptic toncills
she needs to use mouthwash
she has deep grooves in the back of her mouth so therefore
when she eats food gets stuck back there and well rots.
im not being gross my son was diagnoses with this.
if you were to take one out and smell it omg you will pass out
theres no cure just that she needs to use mouthwash they eventually get big and come out by themselves

If it is on the tonsils it may be cryptic tonsil, it's when the tonsils are doing their job sometimes there pockets where the stuff collects that is usually whitish. It will come out if you press on it with a cotton swab or something.If it is this it's not a problem. Best to see a dentist or doctor to make sure.

Tell her to go to a doctor and find out for sure.

Might be a tooth. Most people have several.
