The medication has not helped 100%, but it has greatly improved the thrush condition considerably... Keep the med in your mouth at least 20 to 30 seconds & swish around as much as possible then swallow...

Comment:
My 6 month old son has been taking it for 6 days but still no results!! He's not fussy and he is feeding well but the patches haven't decreased. They actually seem like they're spreading. I'm sanatizing everything and following the RX instructions. I know it can take a while to go away but I don't want it getting worse while he's taking the med.!

My son (9 mths) has been on Nystatin for 2 weeks and can not seem to shake this Thrush. It was not very effective with us...we had to switch to Diflucan and there's a world of difference. We are feeling much better.
