so the past few days when my 6 month old would drink his bottle he would kinda act funny/differently toward it and would like lick it, which is strage for him. so yesterday mornin i notice these, white dots on the tip of his tongue, i call his ped. and tell him i think my son has Thrush, he asked me to describe what i see, and i told him, he says "oh no its not thrush, it would be more then that in his mouth, but call me if it gets worse", so last night i look again and there was more inside his upper lip :eek: and this mornin there is a little more on his tongue, i beeb callin his doc since they opened and the lines are always busy :o

I've never had either of my little ones have thrush but from what I hear it looks like curdled milk left over on the tongue and sometimes the sides of the cheeks that you can't scrap off...I would take him in to get it looked at because even if it is thrush you'll need to get a perscription. And even if it isn't thrush it's worth checking out because of the change in eating habits. Goodluck.

Sounds to me like Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. I don't know the medical name for it but I would look into it. That is pure misery and he will get to point where he may refuse to eat altogether and not swallow any of his saliva. This happened to me when I was little. It looks like tiny blisters.
