Child Has White Patches On Lower Lip. No Discomfort. Recovering From Cold. Need For Doctor?
I picked my 3 and a half month old up at daycare yesterday and he has some small what patches on his lower lip . They didn t seem to bother him. The next morning the patches had vanished. They reappeared at daycare today. He recently was and still is a bit getting over a cold he had. Is this something i should be taking him into the doctor to look at?? OR what could I do to prevent these white patches to appear?

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
It is difficult to guide you without looking at the white patches. I suggest that you can wait for a day or two and if the patch(es) persist you should consult a doctor. In the interim you can apply a hydrating cream or oil.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

RKK
