Please Help...Ear infection, oral thrush arrggg!!

[Olive]

the poor thing
did the chemist get you anything for the thrush??

the ab's are what has caused the thrush, so id make sure when she's finished you get her onto some kids probiotics, how old is she??

I would start probiotics now - they won't interfere with the antibiotic, and if she has oral thrush that badly, she probably has a very sore tummy as well. Prepare yourself for some diarrhoea. And get some daktarin / nilstat or some other oral antifungal for the mouth, and use bonjela and paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain relief. Poor little mite.

Thanks,
I just took Olive back to the hospital to get them to check her ear to see if I could stop the AB. They said it is still abit red so not to. The nurse also said to try Bonjella half an hour before meals along with panadol to reduce the pain before meals. I will also start probiotics now as the nurse said that the thrush might be more likely to become vaginal as well if I don't start them now.
She has been having Daktarin Gel since yesterday which has been a challenge as she hates taking it. The pharmacy said that it won't really work until the AB have stopped though which is why I wanted to see if Olive's ear was better but seeing as it isn't we will keep perservering.
So I feel abit better knowing that I have something else to try today, lets hope it works.
She must be so hungryhaving not eaten since monday night.
Should I be sterilizing everything that goes into her mouth, I forgot to ask them that at the hospital?
Thanks again
