My son have a g6pd defficiency, is there an available treatment for this? what toothpaste should i let him use? he just turned 1yr old

.: No treatment yet. He needs good control measures and specific diet. Avoid specific drugs. Let your doctor know when be is put on any medication to check for interaction. Also get him vaccinated for all common illnesses. Good diet and some vitamin e should help.

Non Flouride : You should use tooth paste without Fluoride content because your child is too young and doesn't know how to rinse and spit yet.

MD question: Use pea size of kids toothpaste or less for brushing your son's teeth. He should get used to toothbrush so use 2x day to develop a good oral hygiene routine.

No known treatment: There is no known treatment for g6pd deficiency, the only thing you can do is avoid specific drugs as antimalarials, sulfa drugs, moth balls and fava beans. A more extensive list can be obtained from your doctor. Usually g6pd is mild, but can be more of a problem. Please discuss with your doctor. Infant toothpaste is okay, but not regular adult toothpaste. Use the smallest amount.
