He was on antibiotics for 2 weeks for an ear infection and then complained his pee-pee hurts so the doctor said it was a yeast infection even though there is no visable sign of an infection. Doctor says the yeast infection is up his urethra but gave external cream to put on tip of penis. He has been on the cream for a month and seemed better but now complains of pain in his pee-pee again. Is there an oral antibiotic he can be placed on to clear this up???
Thanks

Yes, there is an oral liquid for thrush.
But you should ask your DR. or in the parenting room.

A yeast infection is a fungal infection, not a bacterial infection. Antibiotics will not work, he needs antifungal medication. Go back to the doctor and tell him that the cream did not work for your son, and have him check for the possibility that it is not a yeast infection. If he still says it is a yeast infection, ask him about an oral medication.

take him to a different doctor and also have him eat lots of yogurt when on antibiotics and after the fact. it will help keep the yeast in check. yeast infection can be painful so when he has to pee, set him in a tub of warm water and have him pee in the tub. it won't hurt so much. but then after the fact you have to teach him not to do that that it was just for the time he had the yeast.
