Possible presence of oral thrush in a 1-month-old baby. Should I consult a doctor or can a pharmacist prescribe treatment?

Yes, thrush can be contagious, especially between a baby and a breastfeeding mother. It is recommended to treat both the mother and the baby at the same time to prevent re-infection. Consult your healthcare provider for the prescribed treatment, which may include a medication for oral application. Remember to follow any instructions given by your healthcare provider to prevent infection transmission.
