Two weeks ago I had to take my son to the hospital to have a medical treatment. The reason I took him to the hospital because he had a fever and reach 39°. Before I took him to the hospital, I took him to the nearest doctor from my house. The doctor said it only a common cold and he gave my son a fever drug. I though my baby would be fine after took that medicine. I was wrong; the fever never came down for the next eight hours.

He is my first son and he is only 4 months old. I was panic at that time and I took him to the hospital immediately. The doctor in the hospital examined him and the doctor said that there is a fungus in my son mouth and it spread to his throat. It causes respiratory tract infection. The doctor explained that the cause is milk leftover in his tongue and it becomes a fungus.

I was lucky my son could be safe because the doctor said you might lost your baby if you late to take him to the hospital.

Here are few ways to prevent the fungus in your baby tongue that the doctor suggests:

1. Clean your baby mount with clean muslin and use warm water.
2. Give your baby mineral water before and after your baby drink a milk
3. Give your baby Kandistatin nistatin solution to neutralize the fungus.
4. This is the most important thing, always update your knowledge about infant and always consult to your doctor.
