Patient's question:
What is the reason for the white coating on a newborn's tongue and diarrhea like water?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the baby's condition is likely related to thrush. Generally, it does not affect feeding or drooling. Currently, you can focus on oral hygiene, sterilize feeding utensils, and clean the nipples for breastfeeding. You can also give the baby some water to keep the mouth clean. If necessary, you can crush and apply nystatin tablets externally to the affected area.Additionally, the diarrhea may be caused by gastroenteritis. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for symptomatic treatment. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
