Hi,
My DD has had an orange/yellow coating on her tongue for 2 weeks now.
It rubs off a bit but not all of it.
I noticed it shortly after I started taking some antibiotics and called the OOH GP who said the only thing they could think of was thrush.
She was very fussy with feeding so I thought this could be right and started on daktarin oral gel for her and cream for me. We have been using them for nearly 2 weeks and it is still there, maybe slightly better than it was.
I have an appointment with my own GP tomorrow.
I called the BFN drugs helpline to ask what I should be asking for and the advisor said that it may not be thrush (as the daktarin has not worked) and we should get her tongue swabbed, which I will ask the GP to do.
Has anyone ever come across yellow or orange tongue in a BF baby before or any other ideas as to what it might be if it is not thrush?
DD is 3.5 months.
TIA
