and have been given nystatin for DD and daktacort for me

Having read this leaflet as recommended on here I'm not confident that this is the best course of treatment (particularly as DP has the same daktacort cream for his scabby feet and how I'm meant to apply the nystatin to 6 week old DD's clenched shut mouth and make her hold it there for 1 minute is quite beyond me

Can anyone give me hope that this course of treatment will help?

I've read on herethat some people have bought more effective treatments over the counter. Diflucan? Something like that? Is it what you take when you have vaginal thrush? or grapefruit seed extract? Does that work?

I don't want to dismiss what we've been Prescribed without giving it a fair go but after subjecting myself to excruciating pain every two hours for 6 weeks I could really do with getting this sorted out

think you'd need 150 first dose then 10 days at lower dose.
