Hello, thrush is caused by candida albicans infection, which generally occurs in infants with unclean mouth and malnutrition, and can also occur in frail adults. Candida albicans is often found in the oral cavity of healthy children, but it is not pathogenic. If the baby has thrush, it should be actively treated to make it better as soon as possible.

During treatment, nystatin and cod liver oil can be used locally to rub the baby's mouth or nystatin tablets, and each tablet can be dissolved with warm water, not cold water or boiled water. During the medication for at least one week, or after the white plaque disappears, you should continue to use 1-2 weeks to prevent recurrence. Moreover, you can also use sodium bicarbonate solution to wash the child's mouth before and after breastfeeding, so that the mouth becomes an alkaline environment and prevents the growth and reproduction of Candida albicans. Under normal circumstances, the focus will disappear after 2-3 days of continuous medication, but it is still necessary to continue medication for several days to prevent recurrence. At the same time, the mother also washed the nipple with baking soda to avoid repeated infection.

In addition, if the sick children have a long history of taking antibiotics, they should stop taking antibiotics as soon as possible, which can cultivate normal oral flora and inhibit the growth of mold. And pay attention to diet, encourage your baby to drink more water and give a liquid or semi-liquid diet; The baby doesn't want to eat or smoke because of the pain. At this time, he should be patient and feed slowly with a spoon to ensure nutrition. Avoid eating foods that are too sour, salty and irritating, so as not to cause pain. In fact, the key to treating infant thrush lies in prevention and treatment. Only by doing daily routine and combining medication when necessary will it be better and faster.
