A member asked:
My almost 7 month old daughter has a yellowish patch at the back of her tongue surrounded by a whitish patch. it seems to cause her discomfort and she's very irritable and not latching well ?

Not specific: The surface of the tongue is such that milk solids often embed themselves within & among the surface. It is called a milk tongue & does not trigger pain. If the kid is uncomfortable about something I would look elsewhere for a source.
