My son has a swollen lymph node on one side of his neck. It doesn't hurt him and there aren't any other symptoms. It's been like this for almost 5 months. We've already seen three doctors who said there's nothing serious, but I'm worried because when I look it up online, I start feeling anxious. Could this be something serious?

I'm worried because I noticed this white thembal thing on my baby's face. Is this some kind of infection, or could it just be normal for infants? What should I do to treat it?
It sounds like your infant may have oral thrush, which is a common fungal infection in infants. The best treatment for oral thrush in infants is usually an antifungal medication called Nystatin oral suspension. You can apply a small amount to the inside of your baby's mouth several times a day. It's important to continue the treatment for the full course prescribed by your doctor, usually around 7-14 days, even if the symptoms improve before then. Additionally, make sure to sterilize pacifiers, bottle nipples, and any other items that may come into contact with your baby's mouth to prevent reinfection.
