White Spots On Tongue Posted: 01-28-05 06:36am


My baby is 14mths old, and has been very unhappy with a temp of 38'c, very swollen glands, coughing, sneezing, and white spots on the mouth and tongue. He cries when eating, so i'm sure his throat is also very sore. He has a very slight "flat" rash on his body ( not much on his face, arms or legs ) only lasted about 2 days. Please help me diagnose this condition. Thanks!! :cry:

Does he have a regualar pediatrician? If so, then I would contact them as soon as possible...If he doesn't then you should consider taking him to the closest hospital.... I'm sorry that I can't be of much help as to what his condition could possibly be....

Thanks! ( White Spots ) Posted: 01-31-05 02:05am


Thanks for the replies suggesting that I take my baby to his paediatrician re the white spots on tongue etc... That's exactly what I did, and he diagnosed it as "baby measles" my little one has been on antibiotics, and although the spots are still there, he seems much better! Thanks for your concern :)
