Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. So many antibiotics in so less time is a risk factor for fungal infections. White bumps on the tongue could be oral candidiasis. I suggest you consult your paediatrician immediately. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
