Oral thrush is very common in children, and if
mothers do not have timely treatment of sores in the mouth, the oral thrush
will grow very fast and make baby painful. The following is a list of home
remedies for oral thrush.
Oral thrush is a pearl white membrane in the
mouth, especially on the tongue of children. These membranes cling to the oral
mucosa, causing entanglement and pain, making the child difficult to swallow.
Causes of oral thrush in children:-
The main culprit of the newborn baby's oral
thrush is a fungus called Candida Albicans. This fungi normally inhabits in the
intestinal tract.
In some cases, the use of antibiotics is one of
the causes of candida’s growth, which leads to the oral thrush. Also, a child
with a weak immune system is at risk for oral thrush easily.
The wrong way to care for newborns is also a
cause of oral thrush. When the child is in a period of weaning, you should use
soft foods, or soup, so that kid’s mouth is not painful. In the course of the
disease, you should not let your baby contact other children to avoid the risk
of infection.
Symptoms:-
In the first period of the disease, there are
white scabs in the mouth, gradually these white scabs spread around the mouth.
At the same time, a reddish layer like a layer of cow's milk will appear around
the white scabs. Common injuries of the oral thrush consist of white patches
(sometimes gray patches) on the surface of the tongue, inside of the cheeks,
lips, or palate. These injuries can cause pain to the baby, lead to anorexia.
Home remedies for oral thrush:-
1. Katuk
Take a handful of katuk, rinse with cold, then
wash one time with lukewarm water. Crush the katuk to get juice, then use a
towel to apply the katuk juice on the tongue, and mouth. The method of using
katuk is one of the most effective home remedies for oral thrush. Currently,
many mothers use this vegetable juice to cure the oral thrush at the early time
for children at home.
2. Green tea water:-
Green tea leaves are also one of the useful
home remedies for oral thrush. Wash green tea leaves and boil with water (note
add a little salt). Rinse the tongue with a towel soaked in green tea. This
treatment is also useful, but due to some properties in green tea, this method
is only suitable for children beyond 6 months.
3. Dyer’s weed and scallion leaves:-
Ingredients: 4 g of dyer’s weed leaves, 2 g of
fresh scallion leaves.
Crush two above ingredients to get a juice, use
this juice to clean baby's mouth twice or more times per day.
4. Diluted salt water:-
Dissolve the salt in cold water or use 0.1%
saline. Take a small gauze and wrap in the little finger, permeate the diluted
salt water, then clean your baby's mouth gently, from the inside to outside of
the oral cavity.
5. Sodium Bicarbonate:-
Take 50 g of sodium bicarbonate in a glass of
cold boiled water and stir until the solution is dissolved (called saturated
condition), store this solution into a bottle to use gradually. When using,
take a cotton swab to apply the medicine to the oral thrush area lightly, and
spread out on edge. Because the drug is not toxic, it is ok to drink. Do this
remedy many times a day.
6. Jackfruit leaves:-
Dry the jackfruit leaves and then burn to get
the coal. Mix the burned jackfruit leaves with some honey and apply to tongue
thrush 2-3 times a day.
7. Apple cider vinegar:-
Enzymes in apple cider vinegar can control
infections caused by candida. Also, it improves the immune system and helps you
fight against candida.
How to cure the oral thrush with apple cider
vinegar:-
Adding a half teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons
of apple cider vinegar into a glass of warm water and then mixing them. Use
this mixture to wash the mouth several times a day until you notice an
improvement.
Another way, adding a little honey and 2
tablespoons of vinegar to a glass of warm water, and drinking it two times a
day.
