Looks like white fungus and not ants. A commercial fungicide can remove it. Spray the soil too. Let the soil dry out more. Fungus thrive in wet soil. Avoid wetting the leaves and stems when watering.

This may be mealy bugs. I've never seen ants do this. I've used alcohol and q-tips and was able to get rid of them, but it was a very small amount of them. Hope you are able to help your plant baby.
