to get rid of thrush in my 6 mth old babs mouth???
white blobs on the corners of his mouth, looks painful coz doesnt wanna eat.

Answer 1

1) Antibiotics will CAUSE thrush, not prevent it.

2) Thrush doesn't normally present in the corners of the mouth but generally on the inside, so I would advise being seen by a nurse/doctor.

However, assuming it is thrush here are some ideas, and even if it isn't none of this will be bad for your baby.

1) Wipe down the area with dilute vinegar (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water)
2) Grapefruit Seed Extract is a natural anti-fungal that is safe for newborns, you can get it at most health food stores.
3) Give acidophilus pills or active cultured GOAT's milk yogurt daily. Check the bottle for dosing of the pills each brand is different. Just open the capsules the inside powder tastes pretty good. This is good for health in general and many people and children take every day all the time, not just when they have a problem.

If you are breastfeeding be sure to treat your nipples as well.

YOU MUST also treat the laundry as it is spread that way. Bleach is not an efficient way of killing yeast(thrush),. Wash your laundry in the hottest water possible and
Hot water over 122º F will kill yeast, either in the laundry, dishwasher, sink, or on your skin (not infants – too hot!). Add one cup of vinegar to the final rinse, you can use a fabric softener dispenser ball. (In addition vinegar is a natural fabric softener, and you should never use liquid fabric softener on infant clothes as it increases flamability)

*Microwaving your undergarments on high for 5 minutes will kill yeast (make sure there’s no metal in the bra).

*Sunlight kills yeast.  Hang infected clothing outside to dry in the sun.


Sterilize bottle nipples or pacifiers – boil them for 20 minutes each day to kill the yeast that may be residing on them.

Wash toys that baby frequently chews on in hot, soapy water every day.

Gentian Violet is NOT a natural remedy, it just sounds like one, it is in fact a synthetic dye.

If you really want to get rid of it, diflucan is the best. It's a prescription. My daughter, who won't take antibiotics without a fight, took the liquid diflucan fine when she was 6 months old. By that point she was starting to have solids and I mixed it with peaches, which she loved.

If you don't want to be quite that aggressive, you can try Nystatin, which is also a prescription. It's an ointment that you put in your baby's mouth.

If you are breastfeeding you also should put Nystatin on your nipples when you are done with each feeding- mom and baby can pass thrush back and forth and that will keep you from getting it.

I know this cuz my baby had it,its a mexican home remedy , I am not sure of the name of the products to make it in english but I'll describe it and you can buyit at a mexican grocery store.
buy *abas(habas)* its sold in bags like the beans its on the same aile as the beans they are like big beans pik/whitish but bigger than beans.
*rosa de castilla* its where the spices are they come in little packets like the cummins and rosemary, they look like dried roses.
*sugar*
in a frying pan with no oil roast the rosa de castilla and the habas, when they are toasted put it in the blender with enough sugar to make it sweet and blend it into a powder, sprinkle it on the thrush as often as needed he can eat it, its not dangerous.
Try something fast before it spreads, it is painfull.
good luck and I hope this was helpfull.

Nature may not be in the best interest of your baby right now. While it's nice to do things the natural and homepathic ways it's best to see a pediatrician about things like this that are hurting the baby. You'll get some antibiotics and in a week baby will be fine.

Answer 5

Try to use a wet wash rag and if that doesnt work then talk with your doctor about the med mouth wash you use with a q-tip. My little girl went through this. Also see about given your child about an 1/2 ounce of water after her/his bottle.

Answer 7

You need medication! The doctor will prescribe something for it. Other than that, boil all bottles, pacifires daily before using, otherwise, the baby will keep getting it all over again even though on the medication. My son had it when he was 3 months.

It is very painful, plus you also have the infection on you if you are breastfeeding. The both of you will need to be treated. You will need antibiotics, it will work quickly and for the babies sake they will be able to eat again. It will only get worse

Ask your pedi for some antibiotics. You can use lemon juice to wipe some of it away. Make sure you boil the pacifiers and nipples in between.
