What Causes Drooling Fussy And White Spots On Tongue?
Hi, my 12 month old has been drooling, fussy and had a low grade fever for a couple days now. I assumed she was just teething, but I just noticed small white spots on her toung. She has not been eating as well as usual the last two days either. Should I be worried that this may be something other then teething?

HI...white spots on the tongue might be oral fungal infection called Candidiasis. This could be the reason why the kid is not able to feed well. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
The other option is consulting a pediatrician and staring oral candid mouth paint as therapy. But this is a prescription drug and you will need a prescription for it.
