Sure it took 3 applications a day, and ruined EVERYTHING, but it worked like a charm. The others have of course named it, it's been too long for me personally to remember the name. Good luck, and remember throw out all pacifiers, as they just keep that yeast circling around in his mouth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-33435877587386507332011-09-26T08:56:49.737-07:002011-09-26T08:56:49.737-07:00I was just looking back to see how long the thrush...I was just looking back to see how long the thrush has been going on and I can't believe a doctor hasn't suggested gentian violet already. Unless they have and you just haven't tried it?! Either way... pick up some asap and give it a try!!<br /><br />I also know a few other things that can be used if you don't want to use gentian violet. Update us in a couple days if the thrush is still there and I'll post some more recommendations:)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059817455377653848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-56288347900771379572011-09-26T08:49:26.879-07:002011-09-26T08:49:26.879-07:00This has probably been recommended before but try ...This has probably been recommended before but try Gentain Violet for the thrush. It kills yeast on contact. If it's a severe case, I would recommend treating it on the baby once or twice a day for three days. If he has diaper rash, use nystatin cream or clotromizole from target. Use the gentian violet on mommy as well. If she has it only on the surface (not in milk ducts) she can use it 3x a day for 3 days. If it's in the milk ducts, she will need a prescription to clear it up as well. Gentian violet makes a really big mess and stains but it works great!! When treating baby's mouth, rub a little olive oil or vaseline on his chin and face around his mouth first to help some of it to wipe off. <br /><br />Also, wash everything that comes in contact with mommy and baby separately with vinegar in the rinse cycle to kill the yeast. Otherwise, it will keep spreading. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059817455377653848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-79374350065564843772011-09-26T08:47:37.347-07:002011-09-26T08:47:37.347-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059817455377653848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-92157342868317213602011-09-26T07:38:38.927-07:002011-09-26T07:38:38.927-07:00If all is failing with the Thrush, talk to the doc...If all is failing with the Thrush, talk to the doctor about Gentian Violet. It is over the counter. My first had horrible thrush and it only took twice of *painting* it her mouth and on me and it was gone. We had tried Nystatin and it hadn't worked. It is an old remedy and it really worked well and fast though it is messy and does stain! <br /><br />Glad you had a good trip to Phoenix!<br /><br />Kristi- COAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
