Briefly, ever since ds was prescribed a course of antibiotics three weeks ago he has had what the Gp says is balanitis. As it started when he was on the 1st course, GP prescribed a second course - it seemed to go but then came back 5 days into the (7 day) course. Went back and saw a different GP (I asked if it could be thrush and she said no) - she prescribed a broader-spectrum antibiotic (he's just finished that course). However, the end of his willy is looking sore again. HOW can it be bacterial when 3 different antibiotics haven't made it better? What can I do to help him? Is it thrush (he DID have thrush round his bottom after the 1st course of antibiotics). Off to see a homeopath tomorrow... Just at wits end really. Feel I should avoid taking him to GP as he'll only put him on ANOTHER course of antibios.... (or will he?) sorry to ramble, thanks for reading. Dinny
