Why does oral thrush recur in babies?

Question 1: Dr. Cui, my baby got thrush early last month. Later, I asked you to use cod liver oil and Nystat for four days to get better. Then I used it for another three days. I didn’t take any medicine until it was completely cured. As a result, I stopped taking the medicine for two days and it started to relapse. It grows in different places every time, over and over again. What\’s going on? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: The first reason why babies suffer from oral thrush is the long-term use of antibiotics; the second reason is unclean oral hygiene. It is recommended that nystatin tablets be crushed and mixed with water to form a thin paste. Use a cotton swab to apply to the mouth every day, 3 to 4 times a day. Clean the mouth with warm water after each feeding. This kind of infection is troublesome and easy to recur. It is recommended to consolidate it for 1 to 2 weeks after recovery. In addition, take good care of pacifiers, nipples, and oral hygiene. Especially parents who have athlete\’s foot, please pay attention! Parents who have athlete\’s foot are more likely to cause their baby\’s oral thrush to recur, because it is a fungal infection. If parents have athlete\’s foot, it is recommended that they wear socks (cotton) at home and boil the socks in boiling water every day, and wash the sheets and quilts to expose them to the sun. Question 2: My baby is 20 days old. The jaundice test was 10 on the third day and 14 on the seventh day. During the period, the medicine he was given showed that the jaundice kept coming back and forth, reaching a maximum of 17. I went to the doctor and was told it was breast milk jaundice. Indeed, I found that the jaundice would go down a bit when breast milk was not enough for a few days and I had to add milk powder. Jaundice will develop after enough breast milk is consumed. Excuse me, how to treat breast milk jaundice? Dr. Wang Yanli answered: Breast milk jaundice can stop breastfeeding for three days, and then it will subside on its own. The premise is that infections, hepatitis, hemolysis and other diseases have been ruled out. In addition, if breast milk jaundice is too high, it will affect vaccination. Question 3: My child is more than 3 months old and I am breastfeeding. In the past two months, my menstruation has been around 23 days. The amount of menstruation is not heavy, but it only lasts four or five days. Dr. Pan Guilan answered: Irregular menstruation during the postpartum breastfeeding period is normal. Mothers should take contraceptive measures and don’t have to worry. Just keep the perineum clean and dry.
