Oh poor charlie.. Hope he feels better soon. Have you tried yoghurt?

[Jacci PG]

do i make him eat the yoghurt or do i just put it straight on there??

Just put it straight there... and you can give him probiotics to ingest which will help clear it up as well.

[Jacci PG]

very stupid qst but what are probiotics ???

[amanda_81]

You can get them from the health food shop, have you heard of inliven? thats one of the brands. there is a thread on it on the forum in the health section. Charlie eating yoghurt will help too, but just put some straight on there.

i would just like to add that you need to use Natural yougurt - something like Bornhoffen. I'm not sure if it works for boys though... please let us know how you get on. good luck

YEP... YOGURT!!
sounds gross hey!! But I had thrush myself once and my Nan told me to put yogurt there...i turned my nose up at the idea and a day later she knocked on my door with a tub of yogurt.... i only used it the once and it eased it off straight away!!!!
Also if he is big enough to eat it that is good too as it works through the digestive system and can help clear the urine of whatever might be causeing it....
You could always visit the DR and get them to advise a trush cream..... would be similar to nappy rash cream I would imagine!

Good luck and I hope it clears up!!
xxxooo

went to the MCHN - she sent me to the chemist to get and anti fungal cream - seems to have worked good so far.
