When parents are breastfeeding their children, they may notice small white spots in the child's mouth, which may appear on the tongue and lips. When white mouth sores are found, parents should actively treat the child, otherwise the situation will become more serious. So how to treat pediatric white mouth ulcers?
When white mouth sores appear, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a doctor to see and treat them with medication according to the cause. Disinfect the tableware commonly used by children, which can be treated by high-temperature fumigation. Place the child's tableware in a well ventilated area. Before breastfeeding, you can squeeze out the breast milk and use a spoon to feed the baby to avoid rubbing against the affected area.
Some parents may mistake the remaining milk in their child's mouth for white sores and can use a disinfectant swab to clean it first. If it can be wiped clean, it means it is milk. If it cannot be wiped off, it means it is a white mouth ulcer. When breastfeeding, it is important to pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of the nipple area. Before each feeding, it is necessary to clean it with warm water to prevent bacterial growth.
To prevent the recurrence of the condition, everything in contact with the baby's mouth should be thoroughly disinfected and kept clean and hygienic. The leftover milk from a child's diet must be promptly poured out. If formula milk is being fed, the water temperature should not be too high and more warm water should be consumed to replenish the body's water needs.
