How to treat oral ulcers in infants and young children?

The bodies of infants and young children are very fragile. Once infants and young children have physical problems, it is necessary to take appropriate measures to treat them in a timely manner. This will ensure the safety of infants and young children and prevent infants and young children from getting sick and affecting their physical health. So how should infants and young children's mouth ulcers be treated? Well, let me introduce this issue to you below.

Oral thrush in children is an infectious disease of the oral mucosa caused by fungi (Candida albicans). Thrush is more common in newborns and children with chronic diarrhea, malnutrition, or long-term use of antibiotics and corticosteroids, as well as unhygienic nipples and eating utensils that allow mold to invade the oral mucosa.

●Thrush is relatively easy to treat with local medication. You can grind nystatin into powder and mix it with cod liver oil drops. Apply it on the wound once every 4 hours. The effect is significant. The therapeutic effect of applying 1% gentian violet is also good, but because it will stain the area around the lips after use, affecting observation and contaminating clothes, it is rarely used clinically.

●Children with severe symptoms can also take some antifungal drugs orally, such as nystatin or clotrimazole, for comprehensive treatment.

● Food hygiene: Keep tableware and food clean. Bottles, nipples, bowls and spoons should be used by one person only. Wash with alkaline water and boil to sterilize after use. Breastfeeding mothers should wash their hands and clean their nipples before each feeding.

●Nutrition supply should choose foods that are easy to digest and absorb, rich in high-quality protein, and appropriately increase the supply of vitamins B and C, such as animal liver, lean meat, fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I introduced to you. If the above problems occur, you can adopt the above methods for corresponding treatment. This can well ensure the health of the body and avoid affecting the safety and health of infants and young children due to the above problems. Finally, I wish the children a speedy recovery.
