What Experts Say

Fluconazole stops fungi from building their cell wall, which slows their growth and lets the body clear the infection. It is one of the common medicines for oral thrush caused by Candida. Babies with thrush may refuse feeds because of mouth soreness, so early treatment helps.

In children, the dose is worked out by body weight, so the doctor's prescription and the measuring device should be followed carefully. A kitchen spoon should not be used. Bottle nipples and pacifiers should be cleaned regularly to prevent reinfection.

Thrush that does not improve or returns often needs a doctor's review, as it can point to another cause such as diabetes or a weak immune system. Liver checks may be advised with longer treatment. Mothers who breastfeed may need their own treatment if the nipples are affected. Liquid dosing is measured in milliliters, so the syringe or spoon provided should always be used. Doses should be spaced evenly across the day to keep levels steady.
