[|Human|] Ok so here s the deal my daughter has asthma and Everytime around the winter months she gets sick with cold viruses sometimes pneumonia, but not so far this year. Her pediatrician and allergy Dr has her on a couple of steroids and when she gets a cold I give her albuterol too. Well my questionvis she gets these white spots on her tongue whenever she gets these colds. First I thought they were coming from the steroids she s inhaling because I read somewhere that this is where the spots are coming from...her Dr gave me the name of the spots when a child gets them when they have a virus...but can you tell me what this may be or if the steroids are causing them to appear...sorry so
[|AI|]  Hello, The most likely cause of the white spots, especially since she uses a steroid inhaler, is thrush. This is a yeast infection in the mouth. Steroids and antibiotics make parts of the body susceptible to yeast infections. These white spots cannot be removed with gauze or a washcloth. To decrease the chance of her getting these spots have your daughter use water to rinse and gargle her mouth right after using the inhaler. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
