sores in the mouth of the infant? What can be done to damage the infant's mouth. The child is only five weeks. He is not eating, crying.
Rinse mouth with salt water.
Going to the doctor immediately, it may be thrush or hand, foot and mouth disease!
It needs a prescription medication for thrush.
ouch! I tallk doctor
Call the doctor as soon as possible. Take him to the ER. If it is not eaten, it can become malnourished and dehydrated. Get off the computer and get it now! It does not look like thrush. My son had when he was in hospital for children and his mouth and tongue was coated white. The wounds are completely different.
it could be thrush I'd take him to the doctor for an antibiotic
take the child to the hospital!
My daughter had white sores in his mouth and my pediatrician told me it was a yeast infection. He said that children can get it from other children, they are around and it moves through saliva. go to the doctor!
This is called going to the doctor ...
I think it is rather unusual for such infants have sores in the mouth. You should ask your doctor about this while they are still visible. I hate the suggestion, but is it possible that the baby has been exposed to herpes?
Oragel. 5MB and a old should not have sores.
If nursing, it is very probable that he thrush. It looks like white spots and as his tongue is coated. I'd take him to the doctor for the first case, and you get a prescription for Nystatin. You can not get this kind on the counter. The mother must also use the Nystatin on her nipples so that thrush will not transfer again. The doctor or pharmacist can give you directions for use. It is difficult for a baby thrush, then you really need to be patient. You can also try giving the baby pumped milk from a bottle, if the take, while the mother and child clearly thrush. You must obtain a prescription. for more than you need, you can reapply if she returns. Good luck to you.
My son had the same thing when he was 12 weeks and I could not breastfeed because of this. It turned out he had thrush, who prescribed an oral anti-fungal. After about two weeks it was fine, but you should make sure you sterilize everything else he'll just keep coming back. Any which affects the mouth should be cleaned continuously. If it is not supported quickly, it does hurt the child, and have them not want to eat. Good luck!
Take your baby to the doctor because it looks like your baby has thrash. The interior of the mouth and is very painful on the child.

Go to the Dr. they will give him medicine in general, it is Nystain. Your baby has thrush, which is a form of yeast. Be careful if you are breastfeeding b / c it could move to the chest which makes them very painful.
