Yeast Rash in 2 Year Old

feed her some of the activia yogurt... it helped with my daughter... BUT i did finally take her to the dr after the same yeast rash was there for a full month (INSANE!) and the dr gave me a steroid cream and it made ALL the difference. Literally over night it was a huge differance! good luck!

Take her to a doctor, you don't want to chance the rash becoming a bacterial infection as well. My daughter used to get yeast infections in her diaper area and there is a cream that the doctor can give you that will help her in about two days. Also, the cream lasts for a long time and my doctor advised me to use it as necessary so I always had it on hand.

It sounds like you should probably take her to the doc, but for yeast infections I would definitly try acidophilius. It is what is in yogurt.. you can get it in liquid form at any health food store the higher the count the better. You could even just put some plain yogurt on the rash. When me and my son had thrush the acidophilius is what finally took care of it... not the $90+ dollars worth of meds from the doc!.. you might try leaving the diaper off as much as possible though.

If it ends up being yeast (after going to the doctor), there is a cream I would try. My son had a diaper rash and they did everything from steriods to a compounded diaper cream. I finally used Motherlove Thrush and Diaper Cream, and he cleared right up. We now always use it as his diaper cream and a nipple cream for me. While he will get the red marks on his thighs, after one or two changes with the cream, it is gone.

This will sound crazy, but use baking soda in a bath, let her play for awhile. Or you can use it as a paste and put it on the rash, I have used this little trick with all three of my kids and it works great.

Hi S.,
My son had yeast and I took the natural route to get his bacteria balanced in his tummy with probiotic. Unfortuately antibiotic removes the good and bad bacteria and our bodies get out of balance. There is a chewable form of probiotic at vitamin cottage. My naturopathic doctor recommended 6 in the morning and 6 at night for 12 days for my 3 year old. It's all cleared up now. He had a rash on his head and mucus in his stool and he was very irritable as well. It's all cleared up now. Last month's issue of Cookie magazine had a whole write up on probiotics. Do some homework and ask you doctor about it.

TAKE HER TO THE DR AND GET IT DOCUMENTED!!!! I too am allergic to augmentin and got a horrible all over body rash after taking the first time. The 2nd time is supposed to be much worse and can be fatal because it can cause your airways to swell. Absolutely get it noted in her files that she had a reaction. And never, ever let her take augmentin again. There are other comparable anti-biotics that works just as well.

I would take her to the doctor. You actually could try yogurt if she is old enough for dairy products. That may get rid of the rash. She'll need to eat two yogurts a day. And they can be the regular kind. Don't go with the light, they don't have enough of the right enzyme. Good luck.

This is quite possibly an allergic reaction to penicillin based antibiotics. I think it's important that you let your doctor know.

If it is right where the diaper hits her thighs, that could explain why it hasn't cleared up. Irritation from the diaper plus a warm moist area are great breeding ground for yeast. But I would take her to the doctor. He can make sure it isn't anything worse, and can give you something stronger that OTC lotramin to treat it.

I would suggest taking her to the doctor. They can perscribe the medicine to get it cleared up. My 4 daughter had something similiar I made a doctor's appt. But, until I could get to the doctor I put Desitine on the outside where she was itching and gave her Tylenol. I also gave her warm baths with baking soda. Good Luck
