What to Do If There’s a White Milk Spot-Like Thing in a Baby’s Mouth?

Question

There’s always a white milk spot-like thing covering both sides of the baby’s mouth, and no treatment has been done. I don’t know what to do.

Answer

This condition could be thrush, a fungal infection. You can use a cotton swab dipped in saline solution to clean the baby’s mouth. If it disappears after cleaning, it may not be a fungal infection; if it does not disappear, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up and diagnosis so that appropriate treatment can be administered.
