Ketoconazole cream works to control fungal infections, which are pathogenic microorganisms that tend to be very hardy and difficult to control. Fungal infections can also be acquired in the mouth, the common fungus being Candida albicans. In children, thrush, an acute Candida albicans infection of the oral mucosa, can develop. In adults, you can also get acute or chronic fungal infections. To control the fungal infection, you can use ketoconazole ointment, which can be applied to the surface of the fungal infection. The ketoconazole will then inhibit the Candida albicans from multiplying and control its progression so that the lesions can heal as quickly as possible. In addition to the ketoconazole cream that can be used, you can also use baking soda water to repeatedly apply rubbing in children, and in adults, you can use baking soda water to repeatedly gargle. Together with ketoconazole cream, the fungus can be inhibited.
