Suggest Treatment For Itching In A Child
My 2 year old daughter has a yeast infection. Her pediatrician prescribed nystatin cream. I'm on the second tube in a week. Not putting it on heavily, but just to cover area. she is very itchy and it is only starting to get better. Should she go back to the doctor?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Most of the skin lesions will itch while healing.
Anti histamine preparation like cetrizine or fexofenadine will relieve itching.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
