my 16 month old this week has been diagnosed with tonsilitis again and is on anticbiotics which he is due to finish tomorrow. He has stopped having a fever now however he is still very cranky and Iv now noticed that he has small white spots on his tongue. In addition to this his gums are bleeding a lot when we try and brush his teeth (this has never happened before). He has been sick a few times this week but has eaten very little, Iv tried to keep his mouth clean but for obvious reasons he doesn t want me in his mouth with a toothbrush (he only drinks water and lactose free milk from a cup with a straw). in addition to this he now has inflamed white guns underneath his two top front teeth, this patch has got bigger in the last few days. we always clean his teeth
Hi, From history it seems that he might be having oral thrush giving this problem. This might be due to antibiotics as well as not cleaning his mouth properly after feeding. Give him Lactobacillus sachets or B.complex Chat Doctor. Apply Mention violet locally after taking advice from your doctor. Make a habit of cleaning his mouth and tongue with clean handkerchief keeping on fingertip after every feeding. Having soreness in the mouth and tongue he does not take more by mouth. Ok and take care. Ok and take care.
