Hi, my baby has thrush. i am using a creche gaurd, cetaphil cleanser, canestan, dilucorte, nustacid and bactroban and oral daktarin. anything else?

Overtreatment: You are way overtreating this problem. Canesten (clotrimazole), Nystacid (nystatin), and Daktarin (miconazole) all are anti-yeast, but none is better than the others and any one alone would be fine. Dilucort (hydrocortisone) could be harmful, making yeast (thrush) worse. The others won't hurt but also not likely to help. Check w/ the child's doctor. Use what s/he suggested, and nothing else.
