What can help 6 year old with fungal infection around mouth

Posted By Mamta (Uk) on 03/14/2015

My 6 year old daughter has fungus infection for over a month and she has a black spot around her mouth. We applied Fusudic Acid cream and Daktacort ointment as prescribed by Dr. but still not better. Please advise on natural treatment. Thanks.

Dear Mamta,

I would try a bit of tea tree essential oil in some extra virgin coconut oil applied topically twice a day for at least a week and see if that helps.

I would do 10 drops of tea tree in 1 Tablespoon of Coconut oil (Mix it up and then use a Q-tip to apply it, or a very clean finger and then wash it afterwards.)

Coconut Oil alone may work. But don't use tea tree straight on the mouth on a child.

If that does not work, there are other things to try; this is just what I would try first.
