I am a little overwhelmed as I write this...My DD was prescribed amoxicillin for an ear infection last week that she got following a cold that continues to linger and now after about 5 days, I think she is getting a yeast infection around her butt. It's not anywhere near as bad as the pics I have googled, but still, it's red around her anus and on one side there are little white bumps. Of course this happens on a holiday weekend when the drs office is closed...
If anyone has encountered this, is there anything I can do to treat this until I call the pediatrician tomorrow? Will this rash go away on its own? I dabbed vinegar on her butt in a desperate attempt to help myself feel like I was helping, but not sure if that's an old wives' tale or what.
Oh, and as I'm checking her mouth for thrush, I realized that she just had a molar come in! Poor thing! She only has 5 teeth in the front, so I was not expecting a molar so soon...As if she doesn't have enough going on right now!
Thanks in advance!
Re: possibly TMI: Yeast infection (ugh...) from antibiotics? Help?
The generic name is fluconazole (I think). You probably already know this but the tube of cream I mentioned before comes in the same box as the insertable applicators. Good Luck!
Oh, and can you call the 'on call' pedi and ask them about this? That's what I would do!
