Question

What are the symptoms of neonatal thrush?

Answer

Generally, 5% sodium bicarbonate solution is diluted three times and used to rinse the child’s mouth, five times a day. Additionally, tin powder is applied to the child’s mouth, which is very effective, with most cases resolving within two days. If the above method does not work, then nystatin drops should be used to drip into the mouth. This medication has a significant impact on the liver, and it should only be used when absolutely necessary.
