My 6 year old ds has had oral thrush three times since March/April time.
I treated it with Dakaturin (sp?) from the chemist the first time, it seemed to go but came back quickly and GP prescribed Nystan. This got rid of it for a few weeks, although now it's back and I got some more Nystan from the OOHs at the weekend as it wasn't improving with the over-the counter stuff.
Ds was in unprecedented good health this winter/spring (not one day off school), so doesn't appear to be 'run down', so I can't work out why this keeps reoccuring.
Diabetes has been ruled out. He's difficult to get into bed at night, and often seems a bit down on sleep although averages about 10 hours a night.
Anyone experienced this and is there a way of finally getting shot of it. A friend mentioned grapefruit seed extract - worth a try?
TIA
