I'm being treated with Nystatin cream for thrush, and DD is getting the Nystatin oral suspension four times a day. I've been on the medicine for almost 48 hours, and I'm still hurting. From what I've read, thrush can get worse before it gets better (once you are being treated). I'm fairly sure the thrush is in my ducts as well as on my nipple, but the midwife wanted to try the Nystatin rather than going straight to Diflucan.

How long should I give the Nystatin to work? I'm also taking acidolphilus three times a day, rinsing my nipples with a water/vinegar solution, washing all bras and pads in hot water with bleach, and limiting sweets (or trying to!).

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!
