A. A white fungal infection on your 4-month-old son's stomach could be thrush (a common fungal infection caused by Candida yeast) or ringworm (a fungal skin infection). Here’s what you can do: Consult a Pediatrician: It's essential to consult your doctor to confirm whether it's a fungal infection and to determine the right treatment. Fungal infections in infants can spread quickly if not treated. Keep the Area Dry: Fungi thrive in moist environments. Make sure the infected area is kept dry by gently patting it with a clean towel after baths or diaper changes. Topical Antifungal Cream: If it's confirmed to be a fungal infection, your doctor may recommend a mild antifungal cream that is safe for babies, such as clotrimazole or miconazole. Do not apply any medication without first consulting a doctor. Clean Clothes and Diapers: Ensure all of your baby's clothes, diapers, and bedding are washed thoroughly to avoid reinfection. Avoid Irritants: Use mild, fragrance-free soap and avoid harsh chemicals or products that may irritate your baby's sensitive skin. Always follow your pediatrician’s instructions and avoid self-medicating, as some treatments may not be safe for young infants.
