A member asked:
Child has enlarged white area on left side of tongue its not thrush but it hurts him , need to see dr? what can i do to help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: How do you know it's not thrush? But no way to know without an examination. In the meantime, Tylenol (acetaminophen) for discomfort, soft foods, avoid anything acidic or spicy. Popsicles for comfort. But see a doctor.
