Stomatitis in infants often accompanies the acute febrile dis-eases or may appear alone. There will be more or less indigestion with possibly some diarrhea. If the condition remains for a great length of time the child becomes emaciated from the lack of food ingestion. It is not necessary for us to take up the different forms of stomatitis since the adjustment is the same in all cases. Upon the first indication of stomatitis or the slightest symptom of sore mouth, the infant should receive prompt attention. Strict hygienic measures should be used, especially if the child is being bottle fed. Equation In stomatitis the equation is C+ for the simple form; for the suppurative form it is N.C.R. Family Simple stomatitis is classified in the fever family. The other forms involve the poison and degeneration families. Major Adjustment The adjustment for simple stomatitis is S.P. in combination with M.C.P. If there is any suppuration involving the poison and degenerations family the major will include K.P. GLOSSITIS Glossitis is not very common among infants. It is an inflammatory condition of the tongue with hyperemia and swelling. There is usually a slight temperature and the swelling may involve the mucous membrane of the mouth. The tongue may be so greatly swollen that it becomes very difficult for the child to take food. Glossitis is often associated with stomatitis or any involvement of the mucous membrane of the mouth. Equation The equation for glossitis is C+ with T+ for the hyperemia. If there is suppuration it is N.C.R. Family This condition is in the fever family overlapping the degenerations family in case of suppuration. Major Adjustment The major adjustment for glossitis is S.P. and in cases involving suppuration K.P. STENOSIS OF THE PYLORUS There are two types of stenosis of the pylorus in infancy. One is a stenosis due to a muscular spasm of the pylorus called a pylorospasm. The other is a stenosis due to a hypertrophy of the pylorus known as hypertrophic stenosis of the pylorus. It is possible for both conditions to be present at the same time. The stenosis may be congenital and is usually called stenosis of infancy. It is considered a serious condition and the mortality is very high. This incoördination is characterized by constipation, persistent wasting, projectile vomiting, and a marked visible tumor. Symptoms The symptoms begin to appear during the first or second week of life. Up to this time the child may have been gaining and showing all signs of perfect health. Vomiting is usually the first symptom to appear and this may be at irregular times but without apparent cause. It soon becomes very forcible and later projectile. The symptoms of indigestion are absent; there is no eructations of gas; the breath is sweet and the appetite is good. There is no evidence of pain and there is no fever, yet the child steadily wastes and loses in weight.
