Nystatin Expertise' for Rash Infection

Thanks to all of your advice for my son's perpetual rash I did get him in to the dr and he is being treated for a yeast infection with nystatin ointment. We've been applying it w/ every diaper change and using warm washclothes to clean him- anyone know how long it should take before its cleared up. Its only been about 2 days since we started but I'm anxious because we have tried so much in the past with no avail.

Nystatin & Diarrhea

We seem to be in a downward spiral of maladies! Three weeks ago, my 6 mo.-old was diagnosed with Thrush. (Which in itself is weird since he's on the older side for Thrush, and I'm no longer nursing.) We were given Nystatin, and after now our third round it has proven to be ineffective. During all of this, he also developed diarrhea, and subsequently a HORRIBLE diaper rash that we're finding hard to battle. Several of you have suggested Gentian Violet, and I've heard it's messy. I'm OK with his mouth being blue/purple for a few days. But is...

When Nystatin Doesn't Work??

My son had an ear infection and was prescribe an oral antibiotic. As a result, he received a yeast rash. Over a week ago, I called my doctor and she called in a script for Nystatin. She said to put the Nystatin on first then put desitin/aquaphor/diaper cream on top to seal in the cream. I have been changing his diaper every time he pees and putting the cream on every time. I have been washing him nightly (fragrance free) and giving him a bit of yogurt (he's 6 months old). I have changed diaper brands three times and I even let him air...

Diaper Rash/Yeast Infection

Ok I've read a couple of requests on here for treatment for what you think is diaper rash, but in reality it is a yeast infection. My 18mo son was on two antibiotics for 10 days, because of pneumonia and a recurrent staph infection. This in turn caused Diarrhea which then caused bad diaper rash and now a yeast infection. The dr. started him on nystatin last friday, we took him back yesterday as it is no better and now we have more nystatin and oral diflucan. We just started the diflucan last night. The dr. said to put on the nystatin then...

Toddler Yeast Infection

My daughter had double ear infections and she was put on antibiotics last Thursday. She got a bit of diarrhea because of it, so her bum got red - thought it was from the diarrhea on Friday. I just kept on with the yogurt, which she eats regularly anyway, and put diaper cream on. I also just started giving her probiotics last week. The redness didn't look any better by Saturday afternoon/evening, so I thought she had a yeast infection. I took her to the walk-in on Sunday and they said it was yeast, just in the first stage - I caught it very...
