Nappy Rash Thrush?

[expatinscotland]

DD1, 2.6, was recently treated w/antibiotics for a chest infection. She now has a really red nappy rash that Bepanthen isn't shifting. It isn't bothering her, it's just really red.

Could it be thrush?

Do I HAVE to take her in to get it sorted? I'm at the GP so much, people are going to say we're in love [insert vomit icon].

canestan cream works a treat.

Thanks!

My car's died, so it'll have to wait till AA gets us to the garage and we figure out what the hell is wrong - either battery or starter motor.

Metanium is great, worked on my dd when she had bad nr when she was tiny.

Canesten as already suggested!

does she like yoghurt? Give her yoghurt with live cultures - works a treat for thrush adn doesn't need a prescription! Check the package though - most of the kids yoghurts don't contain live cultures.

we had this and no amount of canestan would shift it

the following recipe from a book on aromatherapy for babies worked a treat:

1 drop lavender oil
1 drop tea tree
10ml almond oil

in fact it's so good (and mild) the whole family uses it for everything from whitlows to cyclists crotch (don't ask!)
