After birth, babies are likely to suffer from some common illnesses. For example, white mouth sore, an oral disease, is a very common disease with a high incidence rate. Moreover, when babies drink breast milk or consume formula milk in their daily lives, there is a chance for them to develop mouth ulcers. So, how to treat white mouth sores in babies?
It can be treated with a newly prepared antifungal solution, with a general concentration of 100000-200000 units per 5-10ml. Dip a cotton swab in it and apply it to the mouth, about 3 times a day. Generally, it can improve on its own within 3-5 days.
Another situation is the disinfection of the milk bottle. If it is artificially fed, the disinfection of the milk bottle or nipple must be done well, otherwise it is easy to cause recurrent white mouth ulcers. Another situation is for babies who are breastfed directly. It is recommended that the mother's nipples be cleaned and prepared before each breastfeeding session. If there are recurrent white sores, it is still necessary to seek medical attention and consult a doctor.
When it comes to recurrence, we need to further investigate the cause. Generally speaking, the occurrence of white mouth ulcers is closely related to the baby's own immunity. For example, when there is an immune deficiency, infection, or intestinal disease, white mouth ulcers may occur.
White mouth sores are usually caused by poor oral hygiene, so it is recommended that nursing mothers be hygienic. Before feeding, wash the nipples with warm water, and if necessary, apply soda water to the nipples before and after feeding. Also, it is important to keep the child's utensils and bottles clean and hygienic. Sodium bicarbonate can be used for treatment, and it is important to drink plenty of water.
