Is bicarb any good for thrush

[Twiglett]

as in sitting in a warm bath with a liberal bicarb of soda sprinkling

only other option is half-fat creme fraiche .. can't get out

I think you need plain yoghurt Twiggers

I KNOW

or a damn good scratch

Don't use blue cheese, whatever you do

I've got haloumi

I have used sudocreme as a temporary relief before I could get to the shops

yabut did it work?

at haloumi

maybe as a placebo - but every little helps

its funny how the scratching makes it hurt as well as itch giving zero relief in the process isn't it?

I'm actually a namechanger .. I'll change back

that's better

bet I fooled you I was Twig then didn't I?

Is that you UCN?

Tea tree oil would work - just five drops or so in the water.

Also a clove of garlic shoved up your fanjo - some people wrap in muslin first as it can sting a bit.

I find a very cold cool washcloth (wet it, then put in the freezer for a bit) helps to soothe any, erm, inflamed areas.

see? now THAT was a helpful post

thanks yesireallycan I'm sure we have tea tree oil somewhere

diluted plain vinegar, luv.

Natural yoghurt with a few drops of lavender oil in is the best thing methinks, but the lavender oil on its own, in a coolish bath, might help a bit.
