Talk to Pediatrician on Pediatrician Suggestion Needed
Asking For Other, Male 0, MULTAN
my boy of 2 month is not much interested in feeding. usually take 4-5 feeder of formula milk and take only 1or less then 2 oz. on breast feed he usually feed 2-3minute n stop feeding. weight is 4kg. his tounge also had white layer over it. what should I do to increase his appetite.
If this refusal to feed is recent and he has curd like material on palate and inner aspects of cheeks, besides white material on the tongue you noticed, your son may have an infection of mouth cavity caused by a fungus.

White colour of tongue is normal in milk feeding babies
But white lesion for fungal infection must be ruled out .
For feed we have to see the feeding techniques and other causes of interupted feed like oral cavity lesions or nostrils blockage .if you are in multan kindly visit me so that we can sort the basic issues

Please, upload a picture of the mouth for me to see whether tongue has milk coating only or there is fungal infection.

With obvious involvement of lips, this is Oral Thrush or infection caused by a fungus. This makes it uncomfortable for the infant to suck milk. Use Nilstat Drops, containing nystatin, 1 ml every 6 hours for 7 days. Empty half of the dropper on each side of the mouth. It is OK if the infant swallows it.
