Thrush in breast and nipple.
I am breastfeeding my 6 week old son, he isn't showing any signs of thrush however has been prescribed nystan and I have been prescribed daktarin oral gel to put on my nipples however they have made no difference to me whatsoever. So I was wondering if it would be possible for me to try canesten 2%? As I know it's antifungal if I just apply a thin layer do you think it would help? Running out of ideas!
