Question
My two-month-old baby was crying during feeding this afternoon and fell asleep after walking around for a short while. I noticed a white substance resembling milk curd on their tongue that is not easy to wipe off with a cotton swab. I would like to inquire if this is an oral thrush infection?
Answer
How long has this condition been going on with your baby? Can you provide a photo of the inside of their mouth for me to see? I suggest you maintain good oral hygiene by using a cotton swab dipped in saltwater to wipe your baby’s mouth after meals, and for now, just observe the situation. This is the recommendation for the question ‘Is the white milk-like substance on a two-month-old baby’s tongue a sign of oral thrush infection?’ I hope this helps, and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
