Does thrush drool

summary

Sometimes when the mother is feeding the baby, sometimes if the nipple is not thoroughly cleaned, or because the child is curious and puts something unclean in his mouth, it may cause thrush. Let's take a look at thrush and drool.

Does thrush drool

First: thrush, also known as snow mouth disease and candidiasis, is a common oral disease in children. The formation of white plaque on the surface of oral mucosa is more common in infants. This disease is caused by Candida albicans infection. The fungus is sometimes found in the mouth and can develop when babies are malnourished or frail.

Second: children suffering from thrush generally do not feel pain, nor drool, does not affect feeding. But when the child's resistance decreases, the disease begins to spread downward, causing throat, esophagus, intestinal tract, trachea or lung infection, vomiting, choking milk, hoarseness and dyspnea. Very few can invade the blood and develop sepsis, pneumonia or meningitis.

Third: thrush mainly occurs in the buccal mucosa, lips, tongue, maxilla, gums, etc. Severe cases may involve the throat. Thrush is a kind of white milk clot, similar to milk clot, which is not easy to peel off. If it is forced to peel off, the local mucosa will be flushed and can ooze blood.

matters needing attention

Children with thrush usually don't drool. They only have reddening of the diseased part, which will affect the child's feeding, intestinal tract and digestion, and slow down the child's weight gain, for the health of every child.
