Advice for Immune Booster 2 year old

Thanks ladies, I'm writing all these names down as you post them. I have given him dactarin, but it is finished, so I am back on Nystacil. Luckily the thrush is very light now, but I dread it becoming worse again. I also boil all his bottle teats. So I guess the last bet is some good probiotics as well as a immune booster.

Hi,
The other ladies are right regarding the probiotic. Nystacid syrup that they swallow because my paed said that quite often with severe cases of thrush it travels through the digestive tract where it can stay for a long time until treated properly. Once my lg, had the drops to swallow and then the dactarin for the mouth, which always worked really well.
Make sure everything that he puts in his mouth is boiled.
As for the immune booster .... ah that a question quite a few of us mommies would pay a fair amount for.
I tried the creche guard with my daughter who suffered terribly with her throat and ears, didn't work for me. I tried a few homeopaths , had the echinacea and lots of other little dark bottles, but they didn't help. I guess also your child, well my daughter got to the point of no return and the only other option was tonsils and adenoids out. Since then, as the saying goes quite often after a tonsillectomy, she was a completely different child. No more antibiotics.
My daughters case is completely different to yours, so maybe a homeopath could help. I would give it a go.

Also stay away from sugars - easier said than done.

ps..apparently Echinacea is a very good immune booster?

Maybe you can take your boy to a homeopath? I'm sure they will sort out the thrush better than the normal doctors?

Blompotjie what did the paed say you must use for the thrush? Migs only had thrush once or twice (also after very strong antibiotics) and Nystacid cleared it up within days? (you've probably tried that though?)

I use Zinplex (helps for their skin as well) and Viral Guard for a daily vitamin. Septoguard when she's sick. Septoguard is really a must have!! As soon as you see a green nose you start giving that.

And I give Migs probiotics daily.

Shame hope your boy gets better soon!

Hi Pokkeltjie, at the last antibiotic session he did get reuteri drops, but it was to late then, because the thrush has already developed. So creche guard is also a immune booster. I have something cold Zincfloyd or something like that, also a immune booster for children and tastes great. But I pressume a immune booster is a immune booster.

Just so tired of this thrush thing, really. When is it going to stop.

@Rags- I won't be taking my child to another gp or pead for a long time to come now. I am shocked that they always recommend antibiotics for anything a child may have, really. May this be a lesson for all the ladies out there with their babies having to be on antibiotics so much. It just worsen everything in the long run and you get stuck with it. I am lucky, my boy only got oral thrush, but things could have been worse I presume.

We dont visit the paed at all, we attend a gp/homeopath and at the start of winter he gave my toddler once off dosage of immune boosters.

Hi Blommetjie,

Do you give Reutri drops/tabs when your lg is on antibiotics? If not, you should give this the same time they are using antibiotics - it puts the good bacteria back into the body and so you avoid getting diaree, thrush ect.

2 good immune boosters are creche guard and Septoguard natural antibiotic.
The Septoguard is not really an antibiotic (not sure why they call it antibiotic!) Our clinic sister advised that we use this as a daily immune booster and when she is sick we can use it 3 times a day to give her a boost. I have tried it and it does seem to help!

Hope he gets over this!
