Milk tongus: The tongue is coated with specialized skin that has a rough texture rather than smooth & will trap minor milk solids on it's surface.This often gives the tongue a white appearance for the duration of a kids milk dominated diet. If thrush is not visible on gums & lining of the cheeks i don't treat it.

I have been treated with nystatin for 2 weeks. My tongue still has the white coating and often feels sore. I checked with dentist and he said this condition isnt at all related to oral thrush. Should i visit a third doctor or an oral pathologist?
