But should we be concerned about reocurring yeast infections and how should we find out the root cause.
Brief Answer:
Follow up
Detailed Answer:
It is definitely a a question to be asked. However, because these are so common in babies, there is most likely no underlying cause for it. At most, the doctor may want to consider a complete blood count (CBC) to reassure us that the white blood cells, the cells respnsible for fighting infection, are normal. More than that is not necessary.
