Hello...<br> Oral thrush is caused by a yeast fungus called Candida albicans.<br> Babies are at an increased risk of oral thrush because their immune systems haven't yet fully developed and are less able to resist infection. This is particularly the case with babies born prematurely.. it can also affect babies if they've recently been treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics reduce the levels of healthy bacteria in your baby's mouth, which can allow fungus levels to increase.<br> Babies may not seem bothered by the patches, but they may be reluctant to feed &#8211; or keep detaching from the breast during feeds &#8211; if they're sore.<br> There may also be associated&#160;diaper rash caused by the same infection that needs to be treated as well.. Clomitazol do wonders in this case, please continue that... If your baby has oral thrush and you're breastfeeding, it's possible for your baby to pass a thrush infection to you. This can affect your nipples or breasts and cause nipple thrush.. Main important thing to follow in this case is clean and hygiene- make sure to wash nipple before and after every feed and also keep baby essentials clean..<br>

the medicine that u have been prescribed has been given to cure fungus infection of skin, which makes sense.

i am sure ur doctor is a learned person and must have given u the medicine after examining the baby. dont keep doubt in ur mind...learn to trust ur doctor.. we may or may not be available but ur doctor will be available to see ur child physically when in need. learn to trust !
