Infant oral fungal infections can be treated with medications under a doctor's guidance, such as sodium bicarbonate injection and nystatin tablets. If the baby's symptoms are severe, immunostimulatory drugs may be used, including thymosin and transfer factor. Additionally, during treatment, rinsing the mouth with a sodium bicarbonate mouthwash can help inhibit fungal growth and reproduction.
