Oral Thrush

Sigh, over the last few days, Royston milk intake was very low and it worries daddy & mummy. We cannot figure the reason cos you appear happy and do not look unwell but you cry for many times for long while on last Sat. Little did we expect to see oral thrush on your lower & upper lips this morning. We thot it's ulcers so I apply oral gel meant for mouth ulcer before I left for work. Who knows 阿媽 call daddy to bring you see PD asap cos she is worried. I took urgent leave and daddy drove us to Raffles Hosp see Dr Veronica Toh. When we reach the clinic, it was full of babies and kids and the nurse told me that I need to wait abt an hr to see Dr Toh. We are hungry and daddy need to rush back to work so we request nurse let us see Dr Tan who is available. He checked you and confirmed to us it's oral thrush. I ask him what causes it and he told me it's due to sucking pacifier and the fiction it rubs on the lips and mouth. You will cry when drinking milk. No wonder you drank so little each time. Dr Tan prescribes oral thrush gel to apply on you for abt 1 week. I applied for you in the clinic and I can see the sides inside your mouth has thrush also. Mummy wishes you a speedy recovery.
