Oh I just remembered some medicine my sister has to take kept giving her thrush. The meds for the thrush wasnt working so she started reading up on different ways to get rid of/prevent thrush and she saw somewhere (not sure where) that gargling peroxide helps with thrush. You have to dilute it with water though. I think its half and half.Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
Well, i've just scanned through 5 medical websites that specifically address ringworm of the scalp -it's saying that it must be treated differently than you would treat ringworm on your body- all 5 sites were saying you have to treat ringworm of the scalp with an oral medication - so I guess i have no choice if I don't want it to spreadI guess I might just have to take it and suffer through the thrush again. I dunno.
I will definitely try that to prevent it. Thanks for the suggestion. I've used peroxide before to treat little ulsers in my mouth,etc and it's worked wonderfully, so i don't mind rinsing with it if it will potentially prevent itOriginally Posted by 4crazycats

I think you should go see a doc before you start with anything.
even if its just a normal doc.
Well, I don't have any antibiotics at the moment (and the only thing I can take is a Z-pack (i'm allergic to just about every other antibiotic out there). I do however have the oral mediciation he gave me to treat the ringworm- it's called: Grifulvin V MicR (it's what you use to treat severe ringwormOriginally Posted by crittermom
Nikki, if it IS ring worm in your scalp.....you WILL have to go to the Drs for an antibiotic.
Jordan has a spot that is right on the hair line.I called the Dr and he said to use the Lamisil/Lotrimin.But, if it goes into his scalp, he has to be seen and given some antibiotics.
I'm still dealing with it with all 4 kits too.I am sooooooooo sick of this!!!
Yup- i sure was! I got the worst matt in my hair last night right at the nape of my neck (my hair is really long and wavy- so once in a while it will matt- and when it does it hurts soooooo bad to get it out!) but it was itching then last night- i just didn't think anything of it- the one suspecious spot is in the middle of my head by my forehead.Originally Posted by halfpint
Weren't you just complaining about your scalp itching a couple of days ago ?do you think that was what it was? I feel bad for you and the kitties, I hope you can get it all cleared up soon, I have never delt with it and I oh so hope I don't ever have to...
Thankyou.Originally Posted by enkeli-kitten
Good luck!!! Ringworm sounds terrible, I hope it goes away without you having to suffer too many side effects *hugs* Is there maybe something you can take to treat the thrush and things at the same time?
