Teething

Teething is the beginning of your child’s eruptions of new teeth through their gums. This process usually begins between six and eight months of age. Molars are usually the last to appear and the whole process is usually complete with 20 teeth by 3 years of age.

Signs that your baby is teething include inflamed gums, a low-grade temperature, drooling, a fondness for biting on hard objects, irritability, difficulty sleeping and a loss of appetite.

Conventional Treatment

Thrush

Thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth caused by a yeast-like fungus called Candida albicans. This fungus can also cause diaper rash and vaginal yeast infections. Thrush is usually seen in children under six months of age. If seen in an older child it usually signals an immune deficiency.
