Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query your baby is teething and developed thrush .Well thrush usually occur during teething and it is not a serious .As you mention that you baby is on antibiotics ,so it act as add on factor contributing in causing thrush ,because antibiotics can disturb immune system.

I would suggest you to apply topical anti fungal cream (miconazole)with the help of your figure or cloth.

Ask your doctor to about continuation of antibiotic course

Give your baby good diet which can boost her immune system.

If you are breastfeeding apply apply anti fungal cream to your nipples before feeding and wash off after feeding.

If the condition will not resolve in 2-3 days consult doctor or dentist ,who may prescribe oral anti fungal medication .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
