Question
What are the symptoms of newborn thrush?
Answer
Newborn thrush typically presents with symptoms of rashes and vomiting. When parents notice these symptoms, they can first use a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution diluted three times to rinse the baby’s mouth, doing so five times a day. At the same time, they can apply a tin-based powder to the baby’s mouth. Symptoms usually subside within two days. If these methods are ineffective, it may be necessary to use antifungal eye drops for oral treatment, but this medication has a greater impact on the liver and should be used with caution. Additionally, considering that it may be caused by a calcium deficiency, it is recommended to supplement calcium, and yogurt is also a good calcium-rich food that helps regulate intestinal function.
