Thrush

Thrush is a disease often seen in newborns, especially premature babies one week after birth. Commonly known as white batter, Chinese medicine is called snow mouth disease. It is caused by Candida albicans infection. It is a kind of fungus, also called mold. It is generally believed to be caused by low immune function of newborns, such as weakness, malnutrition, diarrhea, or long-term application of various antibiotics or hormones such as prednisone due to infection. Thrush (Snow-mouth disease) is the most common oropharyngeal mucosal candidiasis, which is an oral mucosal disease caused by Candida infection. In recent years, due to the widespread clinical use of antibiotics and immunosuppressants, bacterial flora imbalance or decreased immunity has increased the number of people infected with fungi in the internal organs, skin, and mucous membranes, and the incidence of oral mucosal candidiasis has increased accordingly. .
