How Can Thrush With Lip Swelling, Mouth Sores And Spots Be Treated?

hello, my daughter has white spots in her mouth again. A month ago she was complaining with her mouth being sore. The inside of her mouth was full of white lines and spots. We took her to the Dr. who said it was unusual for a 13 year old to have thrush but that was the diagnosis. She was given a liquid to take and it went away. Mean while my wife developed the same symptoms and was also given medicine to treat thrush. My wifes went away and stayed away. My daughters never went away completely, I don t think, and there is no pain or discomfort with it this time but it does seem to be spreading. I don t know if its related but her top lip has swollen during the night 3 times during this ordeal. The swelling goes down a few hours after she gets up and stirs around. Do you have any idea whats going on? thanks

Hi,

The most important thing is to find the source of the infection since more than one family member contracted the infection.

I hope you find this helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
