Patient's question:
Just over a month old, thick white tongue, white spots on lower lip. One week ago, past treatment and effectiveness: Had pneumonia at half a month. What kind of assistance is needed: What methods can resolve this?Doctor's answer:
Long-term use of antibiotics can lead to fungal infections. Under normal immune conditions of the body, the probability of a baby developing thrush is not high. Pneumonia always requires the use of antibiotics for 5-7 days or even longer, so it is not rare for a baby to get thrush. However, if family members have fungal infections (such as athlete's foot, hand rash, etc.), they can also transmit the infection to the baby. Therefore, it is essential to determine how the transmission actually occurred.
