Thrush in babies

If your baby has a faint white color on her tongue, it's probably just breast milk or formula. But if your baby has thick white patches or a sticky plaque on her tongue, gums, lips, or the inside of her cheeks, then it's probably thrush, a type of yeast infection. Watch the video to learn more about thrush and what doctors usually prescribe to treat it.

Thrush is painless? Highly inaccurate. Just had my daughter to the doctor today . Said it makes a child’s mouth feel like it’s on fire. Why my daughter has been screaming her head off very fussy and irritable.

My baby got thrush and 5 years old I'm devastated she seems to think it's very painful doesn't want to eat cries when I touch her face. Then the conazole doesn't seem to be working and I live in Canada where that ointment she mentioned is banned because it causes cancer

We have had this problem for over a month now.. We give her daktarin, I also apply it on me, I give her lemon juice and she hates it. She usually throws up after giving her any form of "medicine". I give her some water after feeding so milk won't remain on her tongue.. I have bought new bottles and pacifiers and I sterilize those daily and wash them over and over. It just won't go away, it gets worse! And it seems like the thrush is painful to her too as she starts crying and fidgeting every time I try to feed her! I feel terrible, so sorry for her and I am desparate..

Can babies get thrush from a strict formula diet? Help!!!

[daniellalights]

My baby's mouth is too small I can't use the cloth option I even bought a finger brush but yet again it's too big for his mouth, his tongue is so white I wanna clean his tongue and gums/cheeks but I can't seem to figure out what to use...I bought a tiny tooth brush so hope this will work.. I don't want my son to stuffer from thrush

Very bad video no visual displays or drawings while talking. Not all mothers can understand English but can follow visuals.
