Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I took my little one in to her pediatrician today for ringworm and said that we would like to start diflucan as an antifungal. The pediatrician said that all kids get ringworm and you don't need diflucan for it. I said that she seems to have an ongoing problem with yeast infections even though she is only 4 which I think is odd. I also said that kids with autism seem to be predisposed to fungal issues. She pretty much just said no, and that since my daughter's stool sample had recently come back as OK, that she was not going to perscribe the Diflucan, and she said that Avery does not get yeast infections, that kids her age just have issues from not wiping properly. What she said seemed reasonable really, only that I don't think she is completely right. Also when I listen to parents advice, such as the GFCF diet, we get results and it seems like the mainstream medical community is so backwards when it comes to treatment. What do you think? Do you think she needs to try diflucan just because she has autism, or is Diflucan something that you guys only recommend to give if the child is also taking Valtrex? Shena (We have an appt with Progressive Pede's in ville next month and supposedly they will be able to help with this stuff...thank goodness.)
