Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
This second tongue like structure is epiglottis. It is present in all human beings.In some it is easily visible as in case of your child.So don't worry for it.
What discomfort she is saying might be due to oral ulcer or some lesion in the wall of retropharynx
Happy to help you
Best regards
