Yep I had it. It's horrible. Keep brushing your tongue it will go. I think it's ketosis.

Mine came from all the antibiotics at the hospital. It's normal. The meds they give you cause it and it took about 2 weeks for mine to fully go away. It's thrush and the best thing for it is yogurt IMO. Also if you put some vinegar in your mouth and swish it around the white parts will start coming off. Your Thrush isn't as bad as mine was, my whole tongue was white.

Yes, I got this once around day 8. After some serious scraping, I got most of it out. I have not gotten it again in last 4 months.

Also try probiotics. Do call your doc tomorrow and let them know. If it gets worse they can give you a script for a mouthwash that will help it.

It looks like Thrush (yeast infection of the tongue) from antibiotics. Call your doctor & he/she can prescribe some Nystatin swish & swallow solution & maybe Diflucan. It can be bothersome & hinder your intake of fluids. Hope that helps.

When my son was a baby and being plied with antibiotics, the only thing that worked (for his mouth thrush) was a high dose of a good quality probiotic powder. Medications didn't touch it. I still give all the kids daily probiotics.

Thought I'd chime in. I just gave my godson his meds for this. It looks like thrush. All your suggestions from other posters are good. They do have medication for it if you feel the need for a dr's advice. It's a medicated mouthwash. Swish and spit! Easy for adults.... Hard to get this baby to though lol good luck!

Gargle a lil Water down peroxide.... It will help

And brush your tongue!
