oral thrush
Show your support
Oral thrush is a fungal infection so I would def let her doctor know and they will prescribe a treatment that’s right for her age, even though babies don’t typically have teeth it’s important to brush their gums clean and get a damp cloth and clean their tongue as well. This will help prevent any build up in the future

Does she have a white coating on her tounge? That’s a pretty good sign. my daughter had it. Just go to the doctors and they will prescribe some nyastatin it comes in a liquid
If she transmits it to you they might prescribe a cream for you
