Hi all,
I've only had thrush once in my life, last pregnancy, but I'm really worried I'm going to get a dose now.
I have a gross thing on my nose (my nose is huge, its all covered in scabs and has been weeping for about 2 days, plus my glands are up), I went to my dr today, and she has said I've either got a cold sore (which I've never had before) or I have a Staph infection.
So she has taken swabs, and is sending them away, plus I have a followup visit on Thursday for the results, but she has given me a course of antibiotics in the meantime. Apparently Zovirax is not recommended in pregnancy.

I'm stressed out that since I am already completely run down (another long story) being on these antibiotics is just going to result in me getting thrush, which will mean another week of cream up there as I have been advised not to take the one dose treatments in pregnancy.

Any suggestions on what to do to avoid it? I was thinking about going and getting some yakult. Will that do it? Is there anything else I can do. I was thinking along the lines of inner health plus, or perhaps ensuring only cotton clothing, but since I'm not a pro in this, I dont really know what to do.

Any suggestions would be great
