What are some home remedies to treat thrush?

Question

We can't get in to see our dr till Friday. What are some home remedies I can give my almost 6m/o to treat thrush? I've been giving her yogurt. What else will help?

Answer 1

grapefruit seed extract. mix 10 drops with one oz. of water. swap the solution over the infection with a q-tip. this should minimize the pain and keep it from spreading until you get to the doctor. do not use nystastin. use diflucan. nystastin is filled with sugar to make it more palatable for babies, but thrush is a yeast infection, and yeast thrives on sugar.
