Could Redness And White Cream Be From Thrush?
My 2 year old has been crying and wanting her nappy off. I got her urine checked thinking it might be a uti and it came back clear. I noticed when we got home she appeared to be itchy. She is slightly red and white cream could it be thrush? She was sick once could it make he sick? She has no temperature.

Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Don't worry. It seems that your daughter has either nappy rash or pin worm infestation. Both the conditions can be easily managed at home.
Give her a dose of Albendazole for deworming. Also, follow the following measure to help her in nappy rash if present:
-regularly change damp nappies.
- keep the area clean and air dry it in between each nappy change.
- apply ointments having nystatin/ clotrimazole with antibiotic such as Rashfree. Once the rash improves, use very thin layer of petroleum jelly to avoid any further infections in future.
Hopefully this will be helpful. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
