Infant age of the child, perhaps, one of the difficult periods in the life of the parents. Some emerging problems are obvious, and sometimes some physiological manifestations raise doubts: whether they are a sign of the disease or it corresponds to the norm. As the kid can not tell about the sensations. Emerging on tiny sponges, hardening or even watery translucent bubbles surprise young parents: can sucking cause calluses? And maybe this is a symptom of a dangerous disease?
In fact, a callus can appear on the lips of the newborn. Throughout the entire period of breastfeeding, such formations may occur with regular persistence. The appearance of a blister on the lip of a newborn is a testament to the fact that the baby is actively working, extracting mother's milk. Bubbles are best left untouched if they do not cause trouble to the baby when breastfeeding. After the end of breastfeeding, the corn on the lip of the baby will pass by itself.
When should I be concerned?
It happens that dropsy on the lips of a newborn is a sign of stomatitis . Inflammation of the oral mucosa can spread to the gums, tongue, palate, inner cheek surface. The child has painful phenomena, decreases appetite, body temperature rises. Experts associate the occurrence of infectious stomatitis with two factors:
- violation of hygiene in the care of an infant;
- decrease in the immune system of the baby's body.
If the vesicle on the lip of a newborn is inflamed, has a yellowish or grayish white color, a fibrous structure in the center of the formation and red edges, salivating is observed, most likely a manifestation of stomatitis. With this disease, you should always seek help from a pediatrician.
