at last well appointment, Pilar was diagnosed with mild thrush. we were prescribed nystatin, given 4x daily orally. ( such high frequency because it works via contact with the inner cheeks, and so we're supposed to give it to her when she's very sleepy. )

well. she swallows it straight away, haha. therefore i don't bother stressing out about giving it to her every chance we get ... she prefers long naps once or twice a day, so there aren't even 4 opportunities a day to administer while she's nodding off. not to mention i don't much trust this stuff .... i mean, what did people do about thrush back before the advent of drugs like nystatin? and it's such a mild case, she doesn't seem to be bothered by it ....

doc said we'd need to give her this stuff for MONTHS ..... please help me find a better and hopefully more natural solution.

if the most effective and healthiest method is to continue the nystatin, of course i will do that.

thanks in advance. all the best,
H
