Will Eating Too Much Of Cheese Cause Yellowish/white Coating On Tongue?
my 13 month old son has yellowish white coating on his tongue and I noticed it couple of days back. He does not have any fever or other symptoms. he has been a picky eater since he was on solids. It is located only on his tongue. Lately he has been eating lot of cheese. He is also drinking whole milk 4 times a day(approx 24 oz per day). Could it be from milk and cheese or is it thrush?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
Babies who are on milk feeds will usually have white or cream colored patch.
Once they start eating solids regularly and reduce the milk part it will slowly disappear.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
