Oral thrush?

Does this look like oral thrush? She's 6 months old, has no white spots or curd looking stuff but my DM has said the roof of her mouth looks really white and that it's thrush?

My grand daughter had thrush quite a few times in her first year on the roof of her mouth only and we treated it with Daktarin gel from the chemist and a solution of 1 tbsp baking soda with 3 tbsp water to use as a swab wash between Daktarin treatments.
I can’t 100% tell from your picture but I know it’s difficult to see a doctor or even get in a pharmacy at the moment to get any advice sadly.

@MellowMelly thank you, I have a telephone consultation with her GP at some point today so hopefully they can point us in the right direction!

That’s brilliant they are giving you a phone consultation. If it is thrush it’s fairly easy to treat so that’s good and we were told to boil the bottle teats for 20 minutes to stop reinfection. As my daughter was doing mixed feeding at one point, she had to put the Daktarin gel on her nipples too.
I’m sure the doctor will tell you all of this but I just thought I’d mention it in case!
Best wishes Smile

@MellowMelly my DD is breastfed so I'll likely need to treat myself too as you say!
