I just got this off the internet for you....



10) There is no need to treat just because the baby has thrush in his mouth. The reason to treat is the mother's and/or the baby's discomfort. Babies, however, do not commonly seem to be bothered by thrush.

It did say that you it could be used for thrush - but really if the baby/child acting lathargic - TAKE THE CHILD TO THE EMERGENCY! You don't want to take chances. The child could be alergic to this medicine.
Reply:Contact your pediatrician immediately. You may get your answer over the phone, or the doc may want your baby to get medical attention. Be sure to mention the lethargy, it may be dehydration.

Reply:what on earth is genital Violet?

Why would you put anything on a 10 day old baby?

Is your wife breastfeeding and causing her discomfort when she feeds?

Why wouldn't you ask a pharmacist before doing anything so silly!

Reply:A better way to cure thrush is to buy a really good acidophilus and have your wife take the recommended dosage. Also, before she nurses, mix some of the acidophilus ( you will have to break open a capsule) with lanolin. Just a small amount of each and put it on her nipples. This way the acidophilus will enter your baby's mouth. Put this mixture on pacifiers or bottle nipples too. If the thrush has transferred to your wife's nipples, she will want to reapply the lanolin mixture after the baby is done nursing as well. The Gentian Violet works too but it stains everything as you are finding out and it takes longer to clear everything up. Hope this helps and btw, I used this to treat thrush with my first 2 children. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any more questions. Good luck.

As for the other symptoms, she may have a urinary tract infection. My son acted the same way. Lathargic, throwing up, going limp and pale. Just take her to the doctor and they will give you a prescription. Be aware that the antibiotics will probably make the thrush worse for awhile.
Reply:you might wanna call the dr. Check her temp and if its high at all go to the ER. SHe could be having an allergic reaction
