[fairydust]

worth a try

[fisil]

thanks fairydust. You are MN at its best

not sure but go to chemists and ask. otherwise go to any gp if in the uk, they will see you and prescribe.

could be - does it look a little cottage cheesy like.. try daktarin oral gel over the counter from the pharmacist. The drops are called Nystatin - they are prescription here in Aus. If you are breastfeeding - oral gel on your nipples - helps to stop the cycle and helps get rid of it on baby as well.

fisil - how did u get on?

[fisil]

Hi fairydust. Thanks for asking.

The pharmacist wouldn't sell us dactarin cos ds2 is so young. She said we should go to the GP first. So we tried the drop in GP near where we were on hols - but it was early closing day! The next night he was really disturbed, so we cut our holiday short and came home! We saw our GP, and got dactarin on scrip! Now he is much much better, and happier!

glad all is okay - it really does make them soo unselttled doesn't it?
