The chamomile tea certainly will NOT hurt one thing, and WILL ease the itching, if nothing else. I'd suggest trying active culture plain yogurt. Make sure the label says "Active Culture" and not "Made with Active Culture." There is a huge difference. In California, you should have no problems finding active culture yogurt. It's great for yeast infections of ANY type, including thrush in infants. Swab it on, and if you can, cover it so he doesn't lick it right back off again.
