baby yeast infection help

amb2486

Last week my DD was prescribed amoxicillan for an ear infection, and it wasn't better this past Friday and Is now taking cefdinir. I believe that now she has a yeast infection from the constant meds. Its more than just a rash she is completely red and slightly swollen and screams when I try to change her. She's 9.5 months. The dr answering service is not getting back to me so is there anything you guys know that I can do until Monday morning? Ty in advance

Monistat! Just use the cream on where she's red. I use it on my son when he gets kinda red, and bumpy, and by the next morning it's gone.

Aloe vesta. It can be bought at a medical supply store. Its a miracle cream for many things. It works wonders on yeast infections.

Or use a spray bottle with plain water and plain tissues with no lotion.

My LO gets it constantly... Give your LO a bath with sea salt.. it helps kill off the yeast. You also need nystate and a combination of diaper creaked like A&D, desitine and another.. forgot the name. I'll get back to you in he morning. So tired I can't think

My LO's infection was so bad we took her to the ER to.get her relief. They prescribed something and it cleared right up.

Sorry! Yes it is and it works amazing. It's what my ped even told me to use! Thanks @HomeBirthAdvocate for giving her the heads up. Lol I went to bed early and forgot to check back.

Thanks all! Just getting up and around and before I went to the store I called the dr just in case they decide to respond right away lol. And they said monistat and sitting in a bath of baking soda.
