You should NOT be using this type of medication on a 3 year old child without the advice of a doctor. Get your child some proper medical help now. If you cannot afford to pay for a decent doctor, then go to the most reliable free clinic you can find as soon as possible.Antifungals,antibiotics,creams鈥?should they be used?
what was your daughter diagnosed with for the medication? Nizoral is a topical antifungal (not an antibiotic) that treats skin fungi like ring worm. Monistat is usually prescribed for vaginal fungal infections. They are usually well tolerated in all patients but do have a risk of some side effects. http://www.medicinenet.com/ketoconazole/鈥?/a> should help. If the side effects are worse then the initial problem, contact for doctor for a different treatment option. They should only clear the surface infection from outside to the internal layers of the skin. I hope this helps.





To comment on the latest poster, my doctor prescribes ketoconozal (Nizoral) for my 18 month old and 3 year old daughters who suffer from frequent ring worm. They both have very acidic skin which kills off natural skin bacteria and allows the fungi to grow. This is a genetic trait, harmless, and there is no way to prevent it (only the cream to treat it). So yes, this medication is safe to use on young children with proper doctor supervision.
