It looks like canker, foul odor is a telltale sign. Treatment is Acidified Copper Sulfate. Dosage is 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water. Canker is contagious and birds are carriers. Dont use a metal container when administering it and dont overdose. Give it to her for 3 days straight once a month, every month to keep it in check.

What If you don’t give her the treatment... will it kill her?? We can only get it online and it takes a week to come

It can spread to the esophagus and prevent her from eating.
Metronidazole can treat it as well. Dosage is one 250mg tablet given orally once a day for 7 days. You can use a pill cutter to cut it in half and give her both halves one at a time.

Looks like that’s prescription only. Is there an alternate? What about Baytril (enrofloxacin)?

how do you know it’s not wet fowl pox ?

Fowl pox doesnt have a foul odor.

Fish stores usually keep Metronidazole on hand. Look around for a local fish store.

Do not wait. Yes this can kill her and yes it can spread to all of your birds.
