Does oral thrush in children cause moldy colitis?

Patient's question:

My daughter is 4 months old and has developed thrush, along with diarrhea. She had a stool test at the hospital, which showed mold in one of the four samples. What could be the cause? How can this condition be safely treated, given the duration of the illness has been about 10 days? She has been prescribed Miasac and Lizhu Changle in the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 3-4 days, you can use infant glycerin suppositories or soap sticks to lubricate the rectum and promote bowel movement.
Suggestions: Constipation is often related to poor gastrointestinal digestion, internal heat, and feeding issues. It's important to pay attention to diet. You can increase fluid intake, add juice, or perform clockwise abdominal massage to stimulate intestinal movement. It's recommended to take medication to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. Avoid antibiotics anymore. Wait until the child's condition stabilizes before gradually adding other foods.
