What Are the Treatments for Thrush for Infants?
The organism Candida albicans causes thrush, which is a yeast infection primarily of the mouth. In infants, thrush is often accompanied by a yeast diaper rash. Infants are more susceptible to thrush because their young immune systems are not yet fully developed to fight off the yeast. Thrush may cause some pain for the infant, but in most cases it is easily treated and sometimes requires no treatment at all.
