11 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER YEAST INFECTION??

I actually work at a child care center... if you go to the store and get lotramin (it's an anit fungal cream will probably say something about athletes foot on it) and apply it a couple times a day it should help to relieve it... also feeding her lots of yogurt will help it clear up sooner as well and prevent it in the future... hope this helps and your little one feels better soon!

I must be one of the lucky ones when ever my babies have been on meds. and this happened all we had to do was call the doctors office and they would call in  Nystatin for the yeast infection>  I also gave them yogurt juice and the baby food yogurt if they were still on formula at that time.  They also told me to put pure constarch powder on after aplying the med.  I feel so sorry for her and for you hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Either you or her eat some yogurt (you if she is BFing).

Nystatin is good but overuse can cause the yeast to become iimmune to it.  Anytime someone is on antibiotics, there is a chance of getting a yeast infection.  You may wanna check her for thrush as well.

i agree with this my doc said the same for my 2 yrold

my son gets them a lot.  I don't know why.  I always use Nystatin also, but i heard lotrimin is the same thing.

Well i never had that problem... but i remember how after giving birth i itched from the pads having to use them for so long (not an infection, i had asked just itching)... well i used baby diaper rash cream which stopped the itching. So maybe try that. If anything it sure won't hurt her. Good luck!

antibiotics are known to cause internal yeast infections. Yogurt is the best way to get rid of a yeast infection. Otherwise doctors prescribe another medicine to counteract the antibiotics. If it is not an internal yeast infection and it is strictly an outer yeast infection then she is probably getting too wet. this may sound weird but if their is moisture on that area too long then she can get that down there. My mother always told us never to wear wet shorts after water skiing for too long because of this. Might sound crazy but let her air out a while. This also is a good way to get rid of any diaper rash.

Nystatin worked for my son. Yes, boys do get yeast infections too.

exactly what I was gonna say....plus my oldest son used to get them often too. mostly during the summer. letting him run naked most the time helped a lot. it just sucked cuz he wasn't potty trained yet so there were messes to keep up with too

My son had them under his arms when he was a few months old and the dr gave him some meds to clear it up but it didnt work very well.  His amrpits smelled really bad like an adults bo.  Then it cleared up durring the winter months but when it started to get warm again he started to smell again so I just washed his armpits a few times a day and kept them dry.  I know this isnt much help  because it is in a different area.
