Are they toilet trained? If they were in nappies I think I would be happy to apply cream as part of normal nappy changing routine, as this is no different to applying cream for nappy rash. You would need to get permission for the cream to be applied and the parent to sign to say it's been applied. I would be less comfortable if the child was toilet trained and using the toilet independently. There is no exclusion for thrush though

I think the parent should contact the GP and get advice how to treat the infection...I suppose she has been prescribed cream for her child?....if you are concerned seek support

Yes children do get thrush ...which can also be in the mouth 'oral thrush'

Thrush can appear regularly in those who suffer from it so be prepared as it may happen again
If it does make sure you have written permission' to apply the cream' signed by the parents and keep it in your file
Hope all is sorted
