? Thrush

[SauvignonBlanche]

DD, aged 12.5 is complaining of vaginal itching and has signs of discharge on her underwear. She has just finished a course of antibiotics.

I've bought Canesten but it says to consult a doctor if this is the first time you've had the symptoms and if you're under 16.

It's highly likely to be Thrush and with it being a BH weekend all I've got is out of hours and they usually take 3 hours just to call you back.

My instinct is to try the Canesten and see if that helps but a little part of me is fretting. Why do these things always happen at the weekend?

I can't see that canestan would do any harm. But if you're worried, you could use natural yoghurt.

dd was prescribed 1% canesten at the age of 5 for thrush so I am sure it would be ok for your dd

Thank you, feeling better now, just hope DD is in the morning.

Had the same problem with my 11 yr old too. Was going to try some Caneston tomorrow when I get to the shops.

Yes I would try the canesten too.

also, sounds a bit bonkers, but eating the yogurt helps too.

She says it's better today after the Canesten.
