hi Vinaya Bhutada ! if it rubs off with mild scrubbing with clean finger , it could be a milk residue for which u need to make the child rinse his mouth with water Everytime he has his meals and milk . in case it doesn't get cleansed even after rubbing, it could be oral thrush which might get all right within two weeks or so. in this case u need to make him rinse his mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash and give him curd. u could also consult yr doc who would give u an ointment or gel to be applied on his tongue. hope this helps!
