A member asked:

My child consumes all liquids through gtube. he is soy, dairy, gluten free. he appears to have thrush in his mouth. what could have caused this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be a chance inf: Unless immunocompromised, thrush can appear randomly and should be treated with anti fungal meds. Good oral hygiene ie. cleaning is of course a good idea. Do call your pediatrician for the treatment.
