If your baby ever gets it, but you don't have any symptoms? Treat yourself too! Molly has had thrush for 5 weeks. She had a bout with a yeast diaper rash, but some antifungal cream took care of that in a jiff. I've been giving her Nystatin, which gives her horrible gas that is stinky, for FIVE weeks! ugh. THe doc said I didn't need to treat ( Read more... )

The doctor said that you didn't have to treat yourself? Why does that not make sense to me? Not that Doctors ever made good sense to me anyway. I glad to hear that it is clearing up.

I completely agree. Sometimes I think I should just call them and tell them what to give me, I can often diagnose by myself. I'm just paranoid that the one time I don't take the kids in is the time it'll be something more serious than I think it is. :/ Luckily, this Dr. office does encourage taking your health into your own hands. ;)

That is a really big plus. I don't know how many times I have called D's doctor up and said, "We need to come get a culture done so you can give him a script for Tobi." Tobi being a really major inhaled antibiotic. I like going in and having it confirmed as well.
