    Antibiotics and oral thrush

    Orson is on antibiotics again. For the second time in 7 weeks. The first dose ended in him getting quite bad oral thrush. What can i do to prevent it from happening again?

    Probiotics after antibiotics

    Hi Antheia
    Definitely give your little one probiotics after the antibiotics as they have not only knocked out the bad bugs but also the good bugs and so he cannot fight the thrush. Bioceuticals babybiotic is perfect and can be given on the tip of a spoon mixed in a little cooled boiled water or for older children can be sprinkled onto a biscuit and their favourite topping put on top eg vegemite.Should be available from most pharmacies/ health food shops - do keep it refrigerated though
    Good luck
