How to treat thrush in babies? Can I still get vaccinations?

Question: How can I cure my baby who is over three months old and has recurring oral thrush? Could it be caused by other reasons? Also, can I get vaccinated if I have thrush? Dr. Song Shufen answered: Grind sodium bicarbonate and nystatin tablets, mix them and apply them. In addition, oral probiotics can also be taken as an auxiliary treatment to regulate intestinal flora. Dysbiosis can also cause thrush. Maintain daily oral hygiene, disinfect bottles, pacifiers, and toys, and do not bite toys that are not clean. If it is confirmed that it is thrush, it is usually caused by fungal infection and dysbiosis, and other factors will not be considered. Thrush generally does not affect vaccination, but severe thrush may cause fever and reluctance to eat. In this case, it is recommended that the baby recover before being vaccinated. Question 2: The boy is 7 years old. He doesn’t feel any discomfort in his body, but he has a little extra flesh on his neck. Is this a disease? What kind of tests are needed? Can I check it in the county? Have you ever encountered symptoms like this? Is it common? I\’m a little scared. Could it be an incurable disease? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Check the thyroid B-ultrasound to see if there is any problem, and also check the thyroid function. You need to take a blood test on an empty stomach in the morning, and county hospitals can generally check it. This is uncommon, but common in doctor\’s offices. Don\’t scare yourself, go check it out first. It may be hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, or it may be fine. Question 3: My baby is 20 days old.
