My 2 month old son has got mouth thrush since a few days after birth and it still hasn't gone and now he has black bits on his tongue to, he's had 3 bottles of nystatin and it hasn't worked, anyone else's baby like this and doctor subscribed something different. It's getting very draining as he gets so unsettled now 🙁

Are you breastfeeding? If so you need to treat yourself too.

Get some daktarin - oral for him (I think he can have it now he’s 2 months) and normal cream for you for your nipples. You can get this from a pharmacy usually without a prescription.

Also you have to treat for at least a week after it’s visably gone
