thanks membas! i knew penicillin and amox are the same. im not sure if my two youngest are allergic or not. i know the older 3 were fine taking it, but my LO's have severe diarrhea. they have to be changed every 10-15 minutes, its that bad. it goes watery and sometimes has blood mixed in. it also leaves their bottoms very sore. jaxons skin came off once while he was on it and his bottom was bleeding everywhere. it was horrible. penicillin allegies run in my family, but im not allergic to it. and most of my family gets rashes from it, so im not sure what to think. one alternative AB is sulfa products, but that is an allergy that runs in my family and im severely allergic to. so im reluctant to give any of my kids that.
you are doing good giving her probiotics. we use one from whole foods called primadolphilus for kids. it works for 0-5 yr olds and can be mixed in food. my LO's are on it sometimes. i have even made a paste out of the probiotics, just added water, and put it on their bottoms. it seemed to help, but its very sticky so i would do it a little while before a bath. we had a yeast rash that wouldnt go away. sounds like you are doing everything you can. we had to use lotrimon on one that was hard to get rid of. it works pretty good. and a couple times we had to get nystatin from the dr. whatever you use, keep using it for a week or two after it clears up or it will come back again. we put ours in sposies if they get a yeast rash just so i dont have to strip their cloth a bunch to get the fungus out.
thanks about the nettle tea! i read a lot about it and already got some. i have been making an infusion of it once a day. im waiting on RLT til about 34-35 weeks. online it said to use with caution if your at risk for preterm labor. so i think i will use it, but wait a little longer to start
