My 2-month-old baby has oral thrush. I've used Candid Mouth Paint and Sebifin ointment, but it keeps coming back. How long until its completely cured, and what precautions should I take?
Oral thrush in babies can take 1 to 2 weeks to clear with proper antifungal treatment, but it may return if precautions are not followed. Use Candid Mouth Paint exactly as prescribed, and clean anything the baby puts in their mouth (bottles, pacifiers, nipples) with hot water. Wash your hands before feeding, and if you are breastfeeding, keep your nipples clean. If thrush keeps coming back, talk to your paediatrician.
