Answer

Oral thrush is relatively easy to treat. One can mix nystatin powder with fish oil drops and apply it to the affected area, using the medication every four hours, for a significant improvement. Additionally, take 10 grams of Evodia rutaecarpa, grind it into a powder, mix it with vinegar to form a paste, apply it to the child’s Sanyinjiao points, cover with a wound-healing plaster, and remove it after 24 hours. Generally, one application is sufficient for effectiveness.
