These days, the baby cried as soon as he was sucking, but he refused to eat. Later, I found that there were some bubbles in the baby's mouth, all white spots, and he was very drooling, so I went to check it and said it was thrush. Today, let me tell you what thrush is.

What is thrush

First: thrush is a common disease in the neonatal period, especially in premature infants one week after birth. Commonly known as "white paste", Chinese medicine is called "snow mouth disease". Is caused by Candida albicans infection, is a kind of fungi, also known as mold.

Second: the baby with thrush often shows that there are many things like milk spots in the baby's mouth sticking to the oral wall, which is difficult to distinguish from the milk left by the newborn. If you can wipe it off with a cotton swab, it's milk spot. If you can't wipe it off, it's thrush.

Third: thrush, also known as thrush, is a fungal disease, the pathogen is Candida albicans. Because Candida albicans can infect the skin, through this way can infect the mouth. It often occurs in malnutrition and small infants because of their weak resistance.
