Hello. Have you contacted your physician about this ? Thrush can be cured in older children and adults with a medication that requires swishing and spitting out. They may be able to suggest something for your younger child. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Michelle is exactly right, Probiotics. There are natural things to kill off Candida, but the key is finding something to give a baby. Coconut oil, oil of oregano, olive oil, grapefruit seed extract, capryllic acid, there are many antifungals out there, the health food store I use has a children's section, but I haven't noticed if there is something there for thrush (candida). The doctor will give you Nystatin which is an antifungal not an antibiotic, so maybe not such a bad drug, though I would go with the herbal, homeopathic route if I could. But for sure get the probiotics on board.

Probiotics for sure! My son is now on In-Liven and it's working very well for him. Although he just took an antibioitc recently, no signs of thrush or yeast rash. Make sure they take a probiotic when taking an antibiotic!

Trisha, I've heard of women using plain yogart for vaginal yeast infection. and I mean exactly that.. they place it on a pad, have you tried rubbing plain yogart on this area. first try cleaning it well. with a mild organic soap and drying well. then place plain yogart on the area . if you have a skin flap trying doing while lying down and holding the area open to air. expecially at night. then keep the area dry with a kerlex during the day so that the skin folds are not touching. kerlex is just a plain gause. also sunlight to the area should also help. to help dry it out. as you said getting your body back in balance will help for sure. but you have to treat the problem at hand and yeast loves dark moist places. I hope this helps. let me know.

as for the 10 month old baby, trying giving him yogart to eat as well. but usually children who get this are on heavy use of antibotic's if youf child is still on antibotics . the yogart will only help to soothe it until he's completed the therapy. if he's not on antibotic and hasn't been within the last few week. I highly recommend you seek a dr's advice at this point . for a child who has yeast in the mouth is out of balance. and it's not just his mouth that's out of wack it would be his whole body. not to scare you or anything. so because you didn't say if he was or recently did take antibotics for and infection it's hard to give you something to help him. because your dealing with such a young body. either seek the advice of a holistic dr or if you can't find one take him to his ped's . these little lives are too precious to mess around with on your own.
