Because of this reason children are affected by many diseases easily. Yeast infection can be seen in children commonly. It seems to be red swollen tissues which are covered by cream or white colored patches. They can be seen in mouth and genital and anal areas also. There are many causes for yeast infection in children, such as:
- First major cause is antibiotics. If any children are not well then they are taken to hospitals then doctors prescribe antibiotics to cure diseases. Generally, children have good bacteria in their body, which help them to be healthy. Intake of antibiotics cures the disease and as well as destroys the good bacteria. Yeast fungus can attack the child because of absence of good bacteria in the body.
- Another reason is high intake of sugar. High consumption of sugar can lead to the growth of fungus in the body and it causes yeast infection. Yeast infection can be led by other things like canned fruit juices which are made at home with 5 to 6 teaspoon of sugar and also consumption of cow's milk, rice milk, goat milk.
- Yeast infection can be passed through mother to child, if she has yeast infection, while she is giving birth to baby. It can be passed from mother to baby by breast feeding also.
