Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 My son is 6 days post op, and just noticed white patches on his tongue and cheeks( He just had his heavy elastics removed and now just has 3, so he was able to peek into his mouth. It looks to me like a fungal infection, has anybody else had anything similar. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 --- It could be a yeast infection. His immune system is down and the antibiotics could contribute to that. Have a doctor take alook. If it is yeast he'll need med for that and if you wait it out it gets worse and painful. Or it might just be gunk from not being able to brush. The inside of my mouth feels like a jungle.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 I had something like that when I had my tonsils out....and it cleared up on its own. I think mine was a reaction to some medication I had, though. I would definetely ask your OS. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
