Hello Mary,
Have you tried any of the non-prescription anti candida formulas?
PhytoPharmica makes  a product called Candimycin that could be used in
conjunction with Purified Beta-1,3-Glucan (stimulates the immune system to
eliminate the overgrowth of candida) and Thymuril (contains the polypeptides of
thymus which help build the immune system).
In addition, there are several combination homeopathic remedies formulated to
help this type of problem. 21st Century makes a Detox for Fungus and Yeast that
I have used with some success.

The homeopathic approach make take longer, but it helps the body heal from
inside-out and kick it completely out of the system. There are several other
nutritional support formulas that can be combined with the above to help support
and strengthen the immune system.  Let me know what you have or haven't tried to
this point plus the age of your kids and perhaps I can be of more assistance
