So I have a DCG who has had a yeast infection for over a week now. She was seen by her Dr. and given a topical cream as it is on the outside. However, the cream does not seem to be working and in fact, I just changed her diaper and it looks worse today than it did yesterday. I think it may even have spread out a bit more. She also came to daycare with a spot near her mouth. I'm not sure if it is from her drool or if it has spread to her mouth.
I looked on the internet and it looks like she can't spread it to any of the other children.
Anyone dealt with a persistent infection in a toddler? Is there anything I can suggest to the parents to help get rid of it? I suggest acidolphulous (sp?) this morning and possible yogurt baths if it gets bad enough..... I told her to go to a walk in clinic to get it looked at again.
