How does thrush and canker sores look in a babies mouth?

Thrush in a baby's mouth typically appears as white, creamy patches on the tongue, gums, and inside the cheeks that may not wipe away easily. Canker sores, on the other hand, usually present as small, round, white or yellowish ulcers with red halos, often found on the inside of the cheeks or lips. Both conditions can cause discomfort, but thrush is often associated with a yeast infection, while canker sores may arise from various factors, including irritation or stress. If you suspect either condition, it's best to consult a pediatrician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
