How to take care of baby's mouth rot

When the baby has a sore mouth, parents should pay attention to providing the best care for the baby. Otherwise, if the situation worsens, the baby will suffer.

1. First of all, mom and dad can prepare a lip balm specifically for the baby. After each meal, wipe your baby's mouth clean, then apply it once, and apply it again before going to bed. It is best to apply it to your baby several times during the day. If chapped skin occurs, you can apply some nourishing and antibacterial ointment to your baby, such as antifreeze ointment, chloramphenicol ointment, etc.

2. Secondly, if the baby's lips are very dry, provide special lip care. First, gently wipe your baby's lips with a wet towel, then wipe off the moisture, and then apply a generous amount of lipstick. After a week of continuous care like this, your baby's lips will become moisturized again.

3. Finally, parents should pay special attention to protecting their children’s lips. When you find your child's lips are dry, you can apply a little borax glycerin, lip balm or cooking oil to prevent cracking. At the same time, parents can give their baby vitamin B2, 3 times a day, 1-2 tablets each time. If erosion and inflammation have occurred, you can apply 75% alcohol or 0.2% iodine to the corners of your mouth twice a day. If you persist in this way for a period of time, the wound will heal quickly.
