3. my 5 year old brother HAD the same thing. its mabye a bad infection. and it looks like a white sore on his gum right? yea.. go to the dentist /doctor and theyll give you some medication for this its most likely an infection
4. both my twins had thrush its more like patches of white i would take your baby to a peditrician as soon as you can get in until then make sure when you bath your baby you take a clean wash cloth an wipe out babies mouth during or after baths i did after that until they started gettin teeth now i use a baby tooth brush an tooth paste.. sometimes it can clear on its own sometimes it can get bad but the doctor will give you something if you ask. if you wipe to hard it can sometimes bleed if its bad an hurt them an cause a bad infection
5. Both of my twins had thrush when they were babies, and it made it hard for them to suck on their bottles or pacifiers. They had this white gunk all over their tongues, gums, and cheeks. I would take him to the doctors to be sure, cause there's also this thing called hand foot and mouth disease, that my twins had gotten, and it looked like white pimples all over their mouths, and down their throat, even though it's called hand foot and mouth disease, they only got it in their mouths, and not on their hands or feet, but it's extremely painful, so definitely get your son checked out by the doctor, to see what he has, cause there is a mixture that the doctor can prescribe, to make both thrush, and hand foot and mouth disease less painful. GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING, I HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT.
6. Does he have any between his fingers and toes? Could be hand foot and mouth disease - the name sounds scary but it's not a big deal. Antibiotics would clear it up. You should go to the clinic tomorrow.
