What Causes Pointy White Things On Both Side Of Mouth?

Hi,My daughter has to pointy white things on both side( exact the same sides) of her mouth( in the little corners of her both sides of her mouth). I brought her to the doctor. She told that s nothing to be worried about. She probably ate something and that s a piece of food!! But I still can see them with a flash light. when she opens her mouth and says ahhhhh theses pointy white things point out. I am worried. She does not have any fever, any pain. I really appreciate your answer

Its small cysts inside the mouth which could be the opening of parotid glands on both side at same location. If your child feels no problem you need not worry. If small lesions all appear at the angle of mouth, tongue becomes shiny then Vitamin deficiency has to be suspected. Otherwise dont worry.
