Is this thrush?

Just that really. My beautiful ds 2.4 has just finished a course of antibiotics for ear infections and today told me his 'winky woo' hurt. Have looked and seems to have a few white bits at the end which I wiped but then had reappeared a few hours later. Have never had thrush myself but thought I heard somewhere that it could be brought on by antibiotics so now wondering if it could be? If it is can I get treatment from the pharmacy or do I need to see a doctor? Also can thrush cause UTI as he only has one kidney so am always on the look out for anything untoward, Thanks

Don't know of a link to UTIs but not certain - why not give nhs direct a call if you're in UK?

I think a pharmacist could probably give you cream - again, NHS coul advise. Antibiotics can be linked to thrush though.
