Question
My child is 10 and a half months old, can he be weaned? He has mouth ulcers, which have been treated for a long time but haven’t healed. I would like to get some help: what methods can be used to treat it.
Answer
The optimal time for weaning most infants is between 10 to 12 months of age, with the latest not exceeding 18 months. If the baby has a disease, the weaning time should be appropriately delayed. In this case, it’s best to delay the weaning process. Mouth ulcers are often caused by candidiasis, and you can first apply sodium bicarbonate solution to the affected area, then use Fuyangxin solution or crushed Nystatin for oral intake, and try to avoid using broad-spectrum antibiotics.
