What Is The Prescription Of White Sores Inside Mouth For Asthma Patient ?

My 3 yr old daughter is on inhaled steroid for asthma. She had several white sores inside her mouth which I think may be thrush. I have nystatin cream (USP, 100,000 per gram), From when she had a bad diaper rash. Is it okay to apply the cream inside her mouth.

Hi, thank you for posting.

From what you refer I can say that your daughter suffer from Oral candidiasis (thrush).
To treat candidiasis I recommend Nystatin oral suspension 100 000 units/ml 30ml.
The dosage is 2 ml, four times daily. Place one-half of dose, 1 ml, in each side of mouth and avoid feeding for 5 to 10 minutes.

I don't recommend Nystatin cream that you have because it doesn't give effect anymore. It can'give effect because it has more than 2 weeks opened.

However to be sure for the diagnosis you need:
1. Oral culture.
2. Complete blood count.
3. Urine test.

Contact a pediatrician.

I hope this information is helpful.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
