The first 6 months of your child’s life are a bit of a test run for their immune system, so it’s easier for them to come down with an infection. Oral thrush is an infection caused by Candida Albicans, a fungus which is present on the skin and the mucous membranes of the mouth, stomach and vaginal area. A long course of antibiotics that destroys the intestinal flora, cortisone-based sprays, or infections that weaken the immune defences can all help spread Candida, more commonly known as oral thrush. Small white spots or patches that look like milk stains appear inside the mouth, on the tongue, the gums, on the inside of the cheeks, and sometimes even on the lips. And they don’t come off when you try to wipe them away.
The infection itself isn’t painful, but it certainly causes discomfort, particularly at feeding time, and when your baby is sucking on their dummy. Halykoo Oral Thrush Wipes can help you get rid of these patches, thanks to the solution they are soaked in and the way they’re woven, helping to give relief to your child.

In your grandmother’s day, she might have cured you of oral thrush by rubbing the affected areas with a cloth soaked in baking soda. I follow the same principle: thanks to the way my fibres are woven and then saturated with my special solution of organic calendula, I’m just what’s needed. I can help the healing process by physically removing the cause of infection, while creating an environment that is hostile to the fungus.

Store me between 8°C and 30°C in a cool, dry cupboard, away from light, heat and sunlight, – and keep me away from children. And don’t let the most inquisitive ones play with me.

My use-by date, which you’ll find printed on my box and on each sachet, is only valid as long as I have been stored correctly in my original packaging. Don’t use me after the use-by date, if my packaging has been damaged or if any sachets have been opened. Wash your hands before and after using me, to avoid transmitting the infection on your hands.
Before using me, please read the illustrated leaflet carefully and keep it for future reference.

Use me as soon as you’ve opened each sachet. I will dry out if I’m exposed to air and stop working. Wrap me around your index finger, holding the rest of the material taut on the palm of your hand with your other fingers. Wipe me around the inside of your child’s mouth, gently putting more pressure wherever the white patches are. You can use me after every meal, but always make sure to use a fresh one.
Candida Albicans can be passed on from the child’s mouth to the mother’s breast at feeding time as well as on their dummies, so to avoid transmitting the infection, make sure to carefully wash and disinfect everything that comes into contact with their mouth. If your child is older than 3 or 4 years of age, you can even teach them to use the wipes by themselves – under your supervision, of course.

I’m a disposable wipe, so please don’t re-use me to avoid the risk of reinfection. I’m intended to be used only inside the mouth. Make sure your child doesn’t put me in his mouth and doesn’t choke, and avoid contact with eyes. In the event of contact, rinse your child’s eye out in running water for a few minutes. Before using me in concomitance with other medications, cosmetics or medical devices, consult your doctor. Don’t use me if you know or suspect that your child is hypersensitive to any of my components, and if he is fructose intolerant – in fact sorbitol, one of my ingredients, is metabolized to fructose. Don’t use me for prolonged periods. I have not been tested for continuous and long-term use. In the event of irritation, hypersensitivity or any side effect, avoid further use and consult your doctor.
I do not contain parabens or sugars, and extensive research and testing have gone into my formula to reduce the risk of allergic reactions!
If your child’s symptoms worsen, do not improve after 3 days or new symptoms occur, consult your doctor.
