Thrush is the same as a yeast infection. An imbalance in your ph levels.

What is she advising you do?

Thanks ingi!!!! I needed to know what was that as well. See, I dont know everything ...Lmao!

Just put some cream on 3 times a day and wait for my swab results to come back to the doctors and theyll probably put me on some other medication but I dont know

Thrush is a fungal infection, same as yeast. It depends where you have it as to the treatment you get. Babies get thrush in their mouths due to an immature immune system. Most medication for fungal infections end in - statin. (but not all) adults get fungal infectons from taking anti-biotics (anti-biotics kills all the bacteria, even the good ones we need). The term 'thrush' usually refers to the mouth and genital fungal infectons as 'yeast infectons. Also any disease that affects the immune system generally can cause thrush.

Thanks for your help guys, I didnt know thrush was the same as yeast infection, learn something new every day lol

Yeast infections/thrush, can blossom whenever there is a major change in your body. Antibiotic use can do it as well.

I only ever had one yeast infection and it was shortly after my daughter was born. Oh it was bad. I sympathize with anyone who has one.

Thanks for your help, my midwife wasnt much use in telling me what it was and I was clueless. At least I know what im treating now. Hoe long did you have your yeast infection for?

I don't remember. But the cream helped a lot right away!

I hope it works out well for you too!

Yeah ill start putting it on tonight. The midwife said that if it wasnt working within a week I should contact my gp and they'll perscribe something. Lets just hope it works as I dont want to treck all the way down to my doctors in this heat!

Yea, they suck and stink too!! Yuck...I would never wish thrush upon anyone!! --except my worst enemies!! Mwahahahaha!!!....

it smells like you are baking bread in your undies! And I never thought the smell of bread would be icky - but it is in this case!

Ohhh yes!! When .Kayoni had thrush, it smelled like she was holding a bread ball in her mouth!! Yuckkk!! I will never forget that!!

I took pics of her thrush to show her when she's older!! Hahaa....And her jaundice. Her eyes were pure yellow where it was supposed to be white! She had a high biliruben count. 19.5!!

Sarah

did you put her in the sun or did she have to go under the bili lights?

We had to put her in the sun. She wasn't pooping either which was causing her levels to increase even more.

So we gave her .Dark .Karo syrup and had to give her a glycerine suppository. Which she loved the suppository because she was sooo clogged up!!

She got soo clogged up because I was told to quit breastfeeding because of her specific case of .Jaundice. She had "breastmilk .Jaundice" the hormones in my breastmilk caused her biliruben levels to increase. Whcich sucked cuz I really wanted to breastfeed! My let down never came because I was constantly on my feet the first week of her life. I didn't get any rest.

Sarah

awww, i'm glad everything is alright now!

Yea thank .God all's good. I was starting to get pissed. If it wasn't one ailment it was another!! I was starting to feel like I was doing something wrong!!

But I guess it made me stronger in the long run. I no longer cry when she gets shots because for the 1st few weeks of her life she got blood tests everyday!! Poor bebe!!

Such beautiful babies shouldn't have to experience such pain!!
