How to Treat Thrush on Baby

Seriawan is caused by the fungus Candida albicans and usually occurs after the mother or baby is taking antibiotics because the fungus tends to grow after the bacteria inside the body are destroyed. [1] If the breastfeeding mother has a fungus or fungal infection of the nipple while at the same time the infant is also suffering from a thrush, it is important to treat both because the mother can transfer fungal infections to the baby during breastfeeding. [2] In most cases, the sprue is considered harmless because the disease itself is easily treated at home and often heals without medication. But severe cases can cause dehydration and fever (rare), and should be treated by a doctor immediately. Knowing how to recognize the signs of a thriller problem, as well as how to deal with mild cases at home, can help keep the baby happy and healthy.

1.Consult a pediatrician before you try natural or home remedies. The doctor can confirm the diagnosis and give you a professional medical opinion about the best treatment for the baby. Many home remedies to heal the seriawan look safe, but keep in mind that the baby's digestive and immune systems are still fairly rudimentary, and pediatricians may ask you to take caution.

2. Give acidophilus to the baby. Acidophilus is a bacterium commonly found in a healthy digestive tract in powder form. Mushrooms and gastrointestinal bacteria balance each other in the human body. Often taking antibiotics or stricken with a thyroid may cause a spike in the growth of the fungus. Eating acidophilus can help reduce the growth of fungi and treat infant causes in infants. [3]Make a paste by mixing acidophilus powder with clean water or breast milk. [4]Rub the paste into the baby's mouth once a day until the seriawan recovers. [5]You can also add a teaspoon of acidophilus powder to formula or breast milk if the baby is breastfed with a bottle. Give acidophilus once a day until the seriawan recovers. [6]

3. Try yoghurt. If the child is able to swallow yoghurt, the pediatrician may suggest you to add lactobacilli yoghurt without adding sugar to the child's diet. It works the same way as achidophilus, by balancing the fungal population in the child's gastrointestinal tract. [7]If the child is not old enough to swallow yoghurt, try rubbing it into an area with a sweatshirt with a clean cotton swab. Use a little yoghurt and watch the child carefully to make sure he does not choke yoghurt. [8]

4. Use red grapefruit seed extract (GSE). Red grapefruit grapefruit extract, when mixed with distilled water and smeared daily can help treat symptoms of the sprains in some children. [9]Mix 10 drops of GSE into 30 ml of distilled water. Some doctors believe that antibacterial treatment performed on PAM water can reduce the efficiency of GSE. [10]Use a clean cotton swab to rub the GSE mixture into the child's mouth every hour during his waking hours. [11]Wipe the child's mouth before feeding. This step can reduce the bitterness associated with suckling when he suffers from a spasm, and can help him get back to his normal eating schedule. [12]If the spleen does not improve significantly after two days of treatment, you may try to increase the concentration of the GSE mixture by dissolving 15 to 20 drops of GSE into 30 ml of distilled water versus the starting dose of 10 drops. [13]

5. Use pure coconut oil (first squeeze). Coconut oil contains caprylic acid which can help combat fungal infections causing the thrush. [14]Use a clean cotton swab to apply coconut oil to an area that has a thrush. [15]Consult a pediatrician before trying coconut oil because some children may be allergic to coconut oil.

6. Make a baking soda paste. Paste baking soda can help treat the sprain in the sick place, and can be used on the nipple (if the baby is breastfeeding) and in the child's mouth. [16]Mix one teaspoon baking soda with 235 ml of water. [17]Apply the pasta to the baby's mouth with a clean cotton swab.

7. Try salt water solution. Mix ½ teaspoon salt into a cup of warm water. [18] Then apply the solution to the mouth part of the seriawan using a clean cotton swab.
