Many mothers have noticed that when their babies are very young, a white film often appears in their mouths, which is actually commonly known as thrush. When a baby's mouth develops thrush, mothers will be extremely worried, even worried that the baby will feel pain. Will the baby's thrush hurt?
Goose mouth sores are very common in young babies. When the infection is mild, babies do not feel pain and will not affect normal breastfeeding. But if the thrush is not treated in a timely manner, it will continue to spread and even reach the baby's throat, tonsils, gums, and other areas. If such severe symptoms occur, the baby will feel pain and may even refuse to breastfeed due to the pain.
Therefore, after discovering that the baby has thrush, the mother must carefully take care of the baby's mouth. During the onset of the disease, it is best not to use a cotton swab to directly wipe the white film on the baby, otherwise it will damage the baby's oral mucosa. The correct method should be to use a cotton swab dipped in a weak alkaline solution to clean the baby's mouth, which is more conducive to the baby's oral recovery.
Although thrush is a common disease during infancy and generally does not require treatment. But if the baby's condition recurs, it is necessary to scrape some white film and go to the hospital for laboratory testing to confirm the bacterial strain, which is beneficial for doctors to prescribe medication to the baby in a targeted manner.
