DD2 26 weeks today is just recovering from chicken pox and now has an off white build up on tongue with yellow tinge to it. She had thrush (i think) when BF up to 3 months old which didn't respond to weeks of treatment and in the end just went with constant wiping of tongue with slightly salted boiled water after feeds so i wonder if it was thrush at all

anyway her tongue looks how it did when she was newborn again. could the chicken pox have run down her system to give her oral thrush or again do you think its a build up of formula?

she is not taking much milk but could be due to getting over CP but now thinking could be due to white residue on her tongue?

she is bottle fed formula now and uses dummies BTW

any ideas?
TIA
