I went out and bought some cream for my daughters yeast infection but..?

Question

hi thanks for all the answers i got regarding my 7 year olds yeast infection..

i bought some creams for her but she thinks it will sting and is refusing to put the cream on?

im at my wits end today, my 2 year old was screaming because of constipation and i finally inserted a suppository for her and now my 7 year old is giving me a hard time and daddy cant do much about the yeast infection she is too embarassed.

my two year old is with him now and she still hasnt pooped but he is taking care of that.

anyways she wont put the cream on i've been sitting with her in the bathroom b/c she wanted me to. then she kicked me out and she still hasnt i told her it wouldnt her and she has to do it. i offered to do it and she said she wants me to but is too scared.

i told her to go up in her room and wait for me and get herself relaxed for 5 mins. i know she will give me a hard time in her room and probably scream and cry. she is always giving me a hard time when it comes to medicine! help!

Answer 1

i always hated that when i was little too. my mom used to tell me "do it or let me do it, or i'm taking you to the doctor and i'm having them do it." it wasn't the nicest way to do things, but it worked. if that doesn't work, maybe call the doctor and have them talk to her about how important it is to put the cream on.

Answer 2

well some times she could have a allergic reaction to the cream and that could lead to stining

You should give her neosporin insted its alot better

pretend you have a oopen cut or something and put it on that then when she sees it doesnt hurt you maybe she will be better about it.

or bribe her

Answer 3

Tell her after you let her put the medicine on that you will give her a treat, like ice cream or a cookie or something.

Also, explain to her that it's going to hurt even more if she doesn't get the medicine on it will only make the yeast infection worse.

Explain that the yeast infection can grow fast, and the longer she waits the more pain she will be in

Answer 4

I've found the less serious I make any medical situation feel, the less the child is responsive to it- I just completely am nonchalant about it and just provide care.  Though it also is important to acknowledge how she is feeling, don't let any of your anxiety visible to her, act extremely unconcerned.

Best of luck- it's a tricky situation you've got there- let us know how it works out!!!

Answer 5

Desitin sells a good cream that does not hurt .Are u sure its "yeast infections" well anyways they also sell a medicated cream/lotion that works well but these creams you can find down the Baby isle.. or ask ur doc to see if they have a flavored syrup  they can take.

Answer 6

Ok I think she's more afraid of the unknow, such as will it sting, will it not sting, then the actual physical pain of the cream. You need to be calm about this, tell her that this needs to be done, otherwise her infection will get worse. Have her sit down, heck even let her bring a book to read or a stuffed animal to cling on to. Make sure you tell her what your doing every step of the way; 1) Taking the cream out of the box 2) Tell her it will sting a little bit but it's nothing to be afraid of. 3) Tell her your putting a dab of cream on your hand 4) Tell her your slowly going to rub the cream around the infection 5) Let her know when it's done. Hope that helps.

Answer 7

first, anything dealing with a child's genitals should go to a dr.  You need to tell your daughter that if nothing is done, it will only get worse and hurt worse.  I'm sure if she gives you a hard time when given medicine that she is overacting and being dramatic.  I don't doubt that it hurts, but she's being oversensitive because she anticipates pain.  Sometimes doing the right thing hurts!  You're the one that gave birth, right?  At least it doesn't hurt THAT bad!  So she let you put on the cream only because you told her that she could miss school?  if it hurt that bad, she wouldnt have agreed to that.  You need to be honest and tell her she's going to the dr tomorrow and stop letting your child push you around.  you are the parent and you make the rules.  Let her cry and whine and get it out of the way.  Regardless, she's going to the dr if she likes it or not.  The sooner you start calling the shots the sooner she'll stop throwing tantrums.

Answer 8

Acidophilus gets rid of yeast infection.  They are in the stores along with the vitamins. You can dissolve a pill in a  spoon of water and get her to take it along with something to drink.

Follow the directions though, she'll have to take more than one. It will not harm her, it's natural and not a drug.

My daughter at that age had lots of yeast infections because of taking a lot of anti biotics

Answer 9

im very sorry

Answer 10

GIVE HER BENADRYL SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE HER DROWY AND SLEEP HARD AND THEN APPLY AND  WHEN SHE WAKES UP TELL HER ITS DONE AND IF IT HURTED SHE WOULD FEEL IT SO THEN YOU CAN DO  IT WITHOUT THE STRUGGLE NEXT TIME

OR YOU CAN  JUST PUT SOME VASEOLINE WHILE SHE SLEEP AND WHEN SHE WAKE UP TELL HER YOU DID AND SEE IF SHE GO FOR IT THE NEXT NIGHT TILL YOU CAN GET IT ON

Answer 11

Just have her calm down and lay her on the ed. Let he take a nap and maybe you could aply it while she is asleep. Another thing you could do is I know that if you dont have a yeast infection it wont do anything so maybe you could aply it to youself and show her it does not sting. You could also(if you are comfortable with this) let her aply it to you and then maybe she will let you aply it on her or maybe she would like to aply it to herself with your guided help.You could always take her to the docter and they will obviously force her to have it applied. Let her hold a special bear, blanket, etc. and just tell her to squeeze her eyes shut and after she has had it applied once she will see it does not sting. Good Luck!!

Answer 12

Explain to her that this cream will not burn and that it will make the burning and itching stop. ( you have to remember that right now just peeing burns...so this would be why she is so cautious)

Have her lay down on her bed and put it on her finger, and have her put it where it burns.

But make sure she knows this IS NOT an option, just like any medicine...Be patient...Once she gets this on she will be a little happier...

Dad home and can deal with p**p patrol, Soon enough it will be bedtime...

Stay strong

Answer 13

tell her well well go to the hospital and let them do it it works on my kids
