Jack's got thrush :-(
Hiya!
Jack has got thrush bless him. Only in his nappy area, but its really infected and so sore. He has 8 open sores that weep and its all over his ahem balls as well!! Dr has given him some clotermizole (sp?!) cream to be applied 3 times a day.
I feel like I've let him down though, I know I havent but he screams when he has his nappy changed. We're using warm water, cotton wool pads and letting as much air get to it as possible. It looks so painful so I'm not suprised he cries.
Its only been this sore for 2 days now, only managed to get an appt today, and we were considered prority!!
Has anyone else's LO's had this? How long did it take to go? Any advice to ease the pain?
Thanks ladies!!

And I also think that you having to wait that long for an appointment for lo is absolutely disgusting!
Ellie had oral thrush which cleared quickly with the use of daktarin oral gel. Obviously this is totally different but I hope Jack's cream helps him & what your doing with the cotton wool, water & air is best thing so don't feel as though you've done anything to let him down! xx

Isabella had thrush but in her mouth last week, she was in alot of pain but once i started putting the cream in her mouth three times a day, I seen an improvement. I really hope Jack gets better soon, it will soon improve.
