Then it may not be thrush . It may be Simple white coating or furry tongue is mostly due to indigestion/ constipation/ colitis etc in infants . Oral thrush can give bad breath and commonly seen in immuno compromised kids or adults . There can be burning sensation and kids stop eating . But If the infant feeds well and doesn't cry constantly one doesn't have to worry much. You can wipe the tongue with moist cloth regularly . Take her to a pediatrician for general health checkup. A routine blood examination can give some data. Anti fungal tablets not necessary . If general health improves everything i the mouth will subside .
