Question
The baby always has white, milk-crust-like substances covering both sides of their mouth. Previous treatment and outcomes: No treatment. Desired assistance: How should I handle this situation?
Answer
This condition may be considered a fungal infection of thrush. According to your situation, you can use a cotton swab to clean your child’s mouth. Dab the cotton swab with physiological saline to clean the baby’s mouth. If it disappears, it is not necessarily a fungal infection. If it does not disappear, it is still recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up to see if it is a fungal infection and then treat it symptomatically for faster healing.
