Dear,


Welcome to HCM.


Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby has sore throat and white strips on throat . The symptoms you mention in query are probably due to a condition known as oral thrush . There can be many reasons for oral thrush in babies but in your case it seems to me that low immunity and use of antibiotics caused oral thrush . Oral thrush is a fungal infection . This will go away few days after your antibiotics course get completed . For now maintain proper oral hygiene and consult pediatrician for proper examination and rule out conditions like pharyngitis and herpes . Doctor may prescribe antifungal treatment, usually miconazole gel or nystatin suspension .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
