What did you use for 6 year old with thrush?

I’m pretty certain it is that, but will try and book GP today too

Vaginal thrush? Personally, never had that in a child, but a pharmacist would be well placed to advise. I assume it would be anti-fungal cream because neither the pessaries nor systemic treatment would be appropriate.

That said, I would also treat with Ovex. Because threadworms are a much more likely explanation for vulvar itching than thrush in a child that age.
