DD has been potty trained for a week and a few days in she developed this rash on her bum cheeks. Her nursery teacher said it could be thrush and I could use canesten cream but it went so I didn't use any. Now DD has got this red rash at the front. Its on the outside, not inside. Can it hurt to use canesten? Anyone else's DD experienced this?

(She's also had a low grade fever for the last 2 days with a cough and today a runny nose... But I don't know if there's any connection :s )

Thanks SherylR ... hoping its not stopping her from peeing. She's not letting me put the cream on her as much as the doctor prescribed. She seemed to be doing much better by the next morning - no more blood, no crying when she did pee etc. so wary to force her. Will have to just keep an eye on her

Ended up rushing her to the doctor on Saturday as she woke up in the afternoon with a blood stained nappy. Turns out she has vaginitis poor little thing. Alhamdulilah shes on the mend now. Thanks for your replies x

Have you tried to put a capful of vinegar in her bath?

My little one sufferes from recurring thrush too. We use Canesten 1% cream (make sure you dont use the adult strength 2% cream as it is too strong for them) and it always sorts it out pretty much overnight :)

Yep, my DD is prone to thrush down there, even though she gets lots of air out time. Our docter recommended canesten. It is pretty effective. Not sure about the fever nd cough being related, there are a few things going around right now. Good luck.
