Question

Lately, my baby has been crying frequently, with many white bubbles appearing in their mouth. They refuse to eat and cry after just a few bites. They haven’t had a bowel movement for three consecutive days, and there are also white bubbles on the upper palate. It’s heartbreaking to see. I want to know what this situation is and don’t want to use medication recklessly.

Answer

The initial assessment suggests that the baby may have thrush, a common disease in children under 6 years old, especially in infants aged between 6 months and 2 years. It is advised not to remove these white bubbles yourself, as it may cause injury.
