DS2 looks like he's been biting his lips just inside (he has recently been on antibiotics).

He is a great one for kissing me on the lips and tonight mine have felt funny, I looked and I have what he has, bits of white on the skin just inside mouth. On looking inside his lips he also has lots inside - is there anything I can get him from the chemist?

And is there anything I can take while pregnant?

Thank you.

I got Daktarin gel from the chemist for my dd. Ask the pharmacist; they are highly trained, and very knowledgable.

Try sucking a bit of garlic (seriously). Garlic's an antiseptic and worked better then the medication my GP gave me when I had this.

I'm not sure if your ds would like this though so have a chat with the pharmacist.

Hi - I have it other places now too

Went to Pharmacist and she gave me Daktarin for my son but was reluctant to give me anything at all for me - said to go to my GP.

So, as I can't get there for a couple of days, I am armed with natural yogurt and cloves of garlic - what the hell do I do with them?
