Crud. Thrush and YI.....

[MamaMegan]

Okay so my son has a habit of stealing DD's binkies, he never used one but likes to steal it and suck on it.

She has thrush that we've been treating with GV (got a RX for Dif today since it's getting worse)...

He has a raging diaper rash, red, raised and all.... it looks like a YI (from when he'd get thrush, he'd have it in his mouth and his balls).... nothing in his mouth. Is it Monistat OTC I can use, any other suggestions?

My doc says clotriimazole 4x a day and leave diaperless as long as possible.

My 7.5 month old is going through the SAME thing!!! She just had the rash on her bottom. The Ped gave her Nystatin but unfortunetly after 5 days of treating her she is still NO BETTER! Her YI is from the antibiotics she was given for her sinus and ear infection. I hate it when my babies are sick!!!

Whenever my little guy is on antibiotics (which thankfully hasn't been that often, lately) he gets a yeast infection in the diaper region. We use Lotrimin AF (it's an athlete's foot medicine) covered in Vaseline and it clears right up for us.

It's so hard when they're sick
