STREP A- HOW DO WE GET RID?

DS has long standing strep A, misdiagnosed as thrush/nappy rash. Using various creams but it just comes back. He won't take the vile pink liquid antibiotics orally so I wondered if there's an alternative that anyone has found? He screams with the pain and his poor little bum is RAW. I have switched from reusables to eco disposables and wondered when I can go back? Any ideas?

needs to take anti biotics otherwise he will end up in a bit of a mess and much worse skin.

You need to take the meds. There is no alternative I have experience of this.

They will admit him for IV AB as it can be serious, which is actually much better than forcing the nasty stuff orally.
