Hello!Thank you for posting here.
You did not mention how old is he and if he suffered any other health problems.This can be yeast or viral infection in his oral mucosa.A clinical examination is a must to help you out.Does he have any burning sensation and how long is he suffering this.
Anyway, these infections can be transmitted through kissing and saliva i suggest you not to share food etc.

hope this helps.
