hi.. from the symptoms that u have mentioned it could be oralthrush
Oral thrush occurs when a yeast infection develops on the inside of your mouth and on your tongue.
The Candida albicans (C. albicans) fungus causes oral thrush. A small amount of this fungus normally lives in your mouth without causing harm. However, when the fungus begins to grow uncontrollably, an infection can develop in your mouth.It causes white bumps to form on the inner cheeks and tongue. These growths usually go away once treatment is received.
since he is complaining of throat pain too it is better to meet the paediatrician who will start him on antibiotics post examination
