my baby is 17 days old and started to cry uncontrollably during certain phases  of the day since recently.We were told that she is suffuring from candidiasis and told to apply Daktarin oral gel in her mouth.She has been crying from evening.Is it ok to give her colimex so she can get some relief?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that your infant is suffering from Oral Thrush that is not a rare finding in infants due to immature immune system and there is a possibility that she might be having soreness and pain in mouth leading to excessive crying. As far as Climax Chat Doctor. . I would therefore suggest you to consult your treating Pediatrician and get her evaluated as the exact cause for excess crying will be ruled out and then only appropriate medications like pain relievers can be given to her for easing her pain. You should continue Captain gel as it is an antifungal medication and will help in clearing the infection... Along with it if you are breastfeeding your baby you need to get your nipples treated to prevent counter infection. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
