Is it possible that my 19 month old breasfeeding baby could have thrush? He nurses fine, and I am showing no symptoms myself. He is having trouble eating and there is a white coating on the back of his tongue with raw redness running in a line down the center.
Hello. I just read through your question. I agree that it is possible that your son has oral thrush. One way to tell is by attempting to remove the white coating. If the white coating comes off, then it is most likely milk. If the white coating does not come off, it could be oral thrush. In any case, I recommend consulting with your doctor, so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
