i took her of the anitbotic after week like i was told to and it cleared up her ear infection but a few days later in when i noticed the discharge...i had her on the creams a little longer then a week if it was a yeast infection these creams should have cleared it up...she eats right type of yogurt everyday,twice a day

And also after i give her a bath i make sure she is dry in her vagina before any clothing goes on..i believe im doing everything that can if it is a yeast infection

Answer 1

Do NOT give her Diflucan or any of those other adult medications. (that thrush could have been treated naturally) That will cause side affects from those drugs and that will lead to more drugs.
STOP THE INSANITY!!!
God gave your little girl to you fresh from Heaven. (I know because I have two of them.) He also gave you what you need to treat her problems.
First of all, if she gets any more ear infections, treat them with GARLIC OIL. (information to follow). And for the yeast infections, she needs to sit in a shallow bath with water and APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. Do this for about 10-15 minutes daily (twice a day if possible). And something else...SUGAR feeds yeast. So watch what she eats and cut down on the sugar.

If If it happens to be a STAPH or STREP infection, that can be treated with garlic oil as well. I am serious. I am currently treating a staph infection in my nose (nasal impetigo) with garlic oil. (Cinnamon will kill the Staph virus as well.)
PINWORMS: If you really think she has parasites, you can treat them by natural means and it will not hurt her if she didn't have them. To do that you would give her a garlic oil enema. I know-sounds bad. But hasn't she been through enough already with those doctors? Check out the website on my source list. Click on "Need a Remedy" and look up "parasites." It gives a list of herbs that will help. Look up any condition. And if you have a question email me. I can tell you how to prepare enemas or whatever you need if you decide to treat her through natural means.
I used to be in pharmacy, so I know what drugs can do.
I have SO MUCH more information I'd like to share with you about how I have used garlic to treat THRUSH, COUGH and CONGESTION, Sore Throat, etc.

EMAIL ME if you are interested.

GARLIC-natural antibiotic
Bacteria can too easily develop resistence to man-made antibiotics because the antibiotics are too simple. So it takes stronger antibiotics each time to take care of the problem. Your child will build up an immunity to these antibiotics and they will stop working altogether. They may have, if she has has had other kinds of infections. You need to introduce a natural antibiotic into your daughter's body to confuse and overcome the bacteria that are causing her infections.

Prepare a simple garlic oil to keep on hand for future use.
Garlic Infused Olive Oil
1 bottle olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and quartered
Drop garlic slices into olive oil and close tightly. Let bottle sit in a dark place for 2-3 days. Strain out all of the garlic and store the bottle at room temperature. You can refrigerate it, but it will solidify. Just set it on the counter and it will begin to return to its liquid state.
EAR INFECTION:Warm some oil to a comfortable temperature (at least room temperature) and put a couple of drops into an infected ear. Also massage some oil into the skin around the ear and on the neck. This allows the oil to absorb into the lymph nodes. If you use cold oil it will cause more pain. Do this as often as desired.
EAR ACHE: Same as above OR you can peel a clove of garlic and stick it into the opening of the ear-just like you would a hearing aid. (This is more feasible for adults than children.) The pain should deminish within the hour (or soon thereafter). (personal testimony of a friend who tried this)

My rule of thumb with garlic oil is: If it is an infection, try garlic oil.
Garlic oil can be irritating to the skin, so you might want to add a little more olive oil to it before applying it directly to the skin.

*NOTE: There is a risk of botulism when dealing with homemade garlic oils (if the garlic remains in the oil). Here is a reference:
"When raw garlic is stored in oil, Clostridium botulinum (botulism) bacteria can grow. These mixtures must be refrigerated to slow bacterial growth. After 2 weeks of refrigeration, the increased number of bacteria will become a food safety hazard. Therefore, these mixtures should not be refrigerated longer than 2 weeks. When garlic is immediately removed after flavoring oil, the bacteria will not have a "food source" for growth. The flavored oil can be stored safely at room temperature."

Here is an interesting site I found on the causes of ear infections. Note the section that says children that are exposed to other children (ie, daycare) can catch respiratory infections that cause ear infections. http://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_causes_middle_ear_infections_children_000078_2.htm

Answer 2

Hi, If you have ruled out any type of taboo activity, I would suggest a diet without any type of yeast. Even though bread is baked, the yeast still lives. Look for help through diet. Your Doctors are treating the symptoms, however, you must be the Detective and track down the food, and environment causing the problem.
Yeast needs a warm, moist environment to live in. So, light panties, 100% cotton, perhaps none during sleeping, just light pajama bottoms. Try a pure soap on her undies. Trader Joes has an inexpensive one.
Use a mild soap on her V area, and make sure to accompany her to the toilet and help her to wipe properly. Use a non chemical toilet paper if you can find one. Remind her not to touch her genitals, and cleanse her gently with pure bottled water after voiding urin, or feces.

Amoxicillin kills bacteria, and it also kills the good bacteria that she needs in her body. Give her Acidophilus Lactobacillus culture. It is in plain yogurt. Or go to a health food store, and purchase the concentrated liquid for her. Don't use sweetened yogurt. Yeasty beasties love sweets. The intestines have a "flora", a wavy action that helps in the elimination process. Antibiotics kill those good bacteria that she needs. Make sure she is drinking plenty of water also. Keep her on a diet free of chemicals not naturally occuring in the body. Hope this helps, it's off the top of my head tonite. Sweet dreams little lady...
Search Candida on the net. Candida and children etc.

Answer 3

Sounds like she may still have the yeast infection but also is sensative to the creams.
Does her redness look like scalding from diaper rash? Real red and slick looking? That can be caused from a reaction to the area being too moist too long.

I would take her to a GYN doctor instead a pediatric doc. A GYN doctor would handle these cases more than a peds doc would so would have a better idea how to treat her problem.

Answer 4

she probably still has a yeast infection because was in her system. Try getting her to eat yogurt that has live acidolfus(sp)bacteria to rebalance her system also change her pantys several times a day or put her in a dress with none to let alot of air in to keep it dry also let her sleep bottomlessfor the same reason keep taking her to the dr until someone pays attention and figures it out

Answer 5

Ask the dr for Diflucan. My son had thrush (yeast infection in his mouth) and we used nystatin and everything else, diflucan worked wonders. It works great for adults as well. Good luck.

Answer 6

Did you take her off the antibiotics because that causes yeast infections.

Answer 7

she had a staff infection take her to the emergency room
