Can not get rid of THRUSH

[AnyDream]

If the thrush treatment isn't working, or working on and off, you might also have an underlying bacterial infection. My nipple pain didn't go away until I took ABS AND nilstat cream on nipples at same time. Each by themself didn't work.

Also a friend had chronic thrush which only went away after she stopped using disposable breast pads and started using only cloth ones. So if you're using sposies maybe switch to cloth for a couple of weeks and see if that makes a difference.

Kenacomb (I think) is antibacterial and antifungal, can get it from the chemist. Thats what a few LC's that I know recommend.

You will need a Dr's prescription for kenacomb.

Hi everyone, I went to the docs today and he did a swab and gave me a script for flucazole which is apparently pretty strong but should hopefully work in a few days. The doc also managed to get authority for me so I don't have to pay $555 (it's not on PBS) for it. So will continue with daktarin, the diet and the probiotics and see how I go. I really hope it works so that BF can be enjoyable. I had to put Olive on the boob today as we were out and I had no expressed milk and she sucked so well which was good as I was getting worried about nipple confusion etc with her having the bottle so much. God it hurt though, i'd kind of forgotton but it was nice to cuddle her in close for a feed again.
