Big white lump on tongue

[Ahurani]

has it spread? do you think it looks like oral thrush?

DD gets these on both sides of her toung, and usually a week later she gets a rash and blisters, so we think its teh begining of Hand Foot and Mouth, but i also think she started biting her tounge in her sleep as well. then it gets infected becaiuse she puts everything in her mouth which then causes the infection etc. you know vicous circle really

It's one big lump, so I dunno about thrush. No sign of spreading.

Hadn't thought of hand, foot & mouth. He has had that before though...(but they weren't 100% sure on diagnosis cause the bumps he had weren't quite typical).
Well, mum had the bright idea of calling our Child health nurse - d'uh. don't know why i didn't think of that. So i'll see if she has a minute tomorrow. The clinic is a short walk from here, so we might get lucky.

Thanks for the replies!

No idea but fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

a few of tays weren't 100% diagnosed either though im 99% sure it was.

she gets a rash in her groin as well and tends to drink more when she has it..

Thrush? The beginning of an apthous mouth ulcer? Possible hand foot and mouth or some other coxsackie virus? It's hard to tell without looking, but if it's not causing her any discomfort, that is a good sign.
