Not serious but: depends on how long ago on antibiotic..may not be related..thrush is a whitish coating on the cheeks or tongue...it wont come off if you scrape it gently with the edge of a spoon....it isn't serious but if this seems to be the case you can wait until tomorrow to call your MD. Raspberry tongue is different & not related to the antibiotic..take a look@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossitis Good luck
