A member asked:
What could this white costing on my baby's tongue be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thrush: Some babies will get what we call thrush. This is a yeast infection of the mouth that can cause a thick white layer on the tongue that will not wipe off and sometimes white plaques on the inside of the cheeks, lips and roof of the mouth. Contact your doctor for treatment options.
