Resolved Question

Has anyone used a home remedy to effectively treat Thrush?

I've been reading up on it and Gentian Violet seems to be a good remedy. Has anyone used it, or another product, and had success at treating thrush?

It depends on where the thrush is. Oral thrush is caused by a misbalance just like the other thrush. Gentian violet kicks oral thrushes butt big time. In Australia you can't get it anymore and have to order it in from America because the active ingredient can be toxic in medium doses for small children, be warned though what ever the gentian violet touches will be stained purple and has to wear away so if it is oral thrush in your babby and you breast feed, look out....lol. If the thrush is the downstairs variety acidopholus powder from the chemist works a treat, it is pricey but you get a large quantity so it can be used for treatments later.

• Thrush is from a lack of good bacteria in you child's system... Yogurt is a wonderful, healthy remedy for thrush. My youngest had a horrible case of thrush as an infant...we tried everything, then our pediatrician suggested we give him a teaspoon of plain yogurt 2 to 3 times a day. It was the cure. :0) Have you re-sterilized all bottles, pacifiers, etc.?

• i have. it works, but not for a stubborn or drug resistant infection. remember that it will stain anything bright purple and stained skin will be stained for days.

• I've heard that probiotics or straight up acidopholus helps, actually.
