Thrush

Question
Hello,

What can we do to prevent our 2 year old from getting thrush (candida fungus)?
She has it regularly, especially after the antibiotic cures. It spoils life because she refuses to eat and it is very painful.

Thank you for your help.
Answer
Hello,

The prescription of antibiotics is known to promote the occurrence of oral mycosis (due to a fungus called Candida albicans). Bicarbonate mouthwashes from the onset of antibiotics can prevent the occurrence of this type of discomfort. This is sometimes not enough and antifungal medicines (anti-fungus) are needed, but the data do not recommend it for each of the antibiotic intakes.
