What Causes White Spots From Tip Of The Tongue To The Back Of The Tongue?

My 16 month old girl has all these whites spots starting from the tip of her tongue covering also the middle and back of her tongue also, she won t eat, won t take her antibiotics nor the panadol or nerofun she has a high temperature also, and has the shakes. She has been to the doctors but was just prescribed antibiotics etc. I don t have a clue on to what I should do, being a first time mother and single at that too. Next visit might just be to the hospital but before hand, can anyone enlighten me on what it may be? And does anyone have any home remedies or medications I should consider?

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be leukoplakia and in my opinion the condition can be best treated with tannic acid local mouth application if this is painful otherwise the condition is self limiting if the symptom does not improved then you need to see the dentist, have a nice day.
