Causes, symptoms and treatment of candidal stomatitis

Treatment of candidal stomatitis is a mandatory process that not only improves the quality of life, but also prevents more complex consequences. The fact is that if the disease is started, then not only the oral cavity, but the entire food tract, can suffer, as the wound begins to appear on the mucous membranes, and the patient becomes difficult to chew, swallow and even drink.

Treatment of candidiasis is made after the cause of the pathology is established. There is a problem due to a fungal infection. The site of the pathology localization is the mucous membranes of the larynx, the oral cavity and the tongue. Most often, the problem occurs in children, although older people can also appear.

In general, there is a disease in those people who have a decrease in immunity, in which pathogens stop oppressive and begin to develop. In addition, treatment of candidal stomatitis may be necessary for diabetics who are HIV-infected, xerotomies. Reception of antibiotics and poor oral hygiene can also contribute to the development of the disease. The disease can also be transmitted from person to person, for example, during childbirth, through toys or pacifiers, that is, by contact.

Candidial stomatitis in adults, the treatment of which must be done immediately, can develop further, affecting the larynx, skin and vagina. In small children, the fungus is able to penetrate into the stomach, additionally causing diaper rash. Symptomatic pathology in both adults and babies is the same: a white coating on the mucous membranes, which is poorly removed and leaves behind the wound. In some cases, there may be an increase in temperature. Children also develop irritability, as it becomes painful for them to eat and swallow.

Treatment of candidal stomatitis should be thorough and urgent. The main drug therapy is aimed at suppressing the growth of harmful microorganisms. The most commonly prescribed antifungal drugs in the form of sucking candies, as well as elixirs, which need to rinse your mouth. The prescribed drugs act on the body in the complex.

Candidiasis in children, whose treatment depends entirely on the severity of the disease, can be eliminated with the help of folk methods: decoctions of oak bark, chamomile, calendula and sage. However, it is better to use them as an additional method. Also, children should rinse their mouth with an aqueous solution of soda, a special solution of Candide, and also lubricate the entire oral cavity with an aniline dye. Babies should also carry out a general immune stimulation, which helps strengthen the body's protective forces.

It should be noted that the dosage of medications and the period of their use are set strictly by the doctor. Independently they can not be used, because side effects can occur. In addition, the child may have an individual sensitivity to the drug, or in a particular case it will be useless.
