What should I do if my baby has oral thrush or 'milk teeth'?
1. The oral mucosa of newborns is tender, and yellowish-white spots, commonly known as "milk teeth", can often be seen on both sides of the midline of the hard palate and on the gums. These do not require treatment and will disappear on their own after 1 to 2 months. 2. If white, curd-like substances appear on the oral mucosa, it is called "thrush", caused by the growth of Candida albicans. 3. Maintain oral hygiene by rinsing the mouth with boiled water before and after feeding. Ensure that nipples, bottles, etc., are cleaned and boiled for 10 minutes for disinfection. 4. Do not wipe the child's mouth, especially if "thrush" is present. You can apply a 1% gentian violet solution to the affected area, but do not forcibly wipe it off to avoid injuring the oral mucosa; do not pick at milk teeth to prevent infection.
