    She really needs to see a doctor. It could be ulcerated tonsillitis, but since the pain and white stuff are on only one side -- usually both tonsils are affected. Not only will a doctor be able to diagnose (as you know, over the Internet it's impossible to do that), he will also be able to give her a prescription for antibiotics, if that is what she needs.
