Is it possible for my 16 month old to get thrush!? I really think he has it.. he has white blister looking things all in his mouth and all on his tongue 😔 he was fine when he when to bed and when I went to brush his teeth this morning he kept fighting me and so I looked and there’s blisters everywhere 😕

Yes. Thrush is basically a yeast infection in your mouth anyone can get it.
If it’s bad and he’s not eating I would take him to the pediatrician they’ll prescribe you a mouth wash and antibiotics

@finesse.muva, he’s still eating fine, but I’m still going to take him into urgent care when his dad gets off of work..

@mommy_x3, can you see white pockets in his throat?

Yes it’s possible

The blistering that you mentioned would have me concerned about hand foot and mouth disease. In which case you should take extra precautions with your other children until you know more as hf&m spreads very easily

Yes ma’am my son had it right before he turned two. They kept insisting it was hand foot and mouth because he was to old. I ended up taking him to children’s and they said he definitely had it. Any age can get it and they put him on meds and it cleared up pretty quickly. Just make sure he’s still taking fluids !
