Anti-Yeast Medicine

  • Your doctor will probably prescribe an anti-yeast liquid medicine. Use it as follows:
    • Place 1 ml (2 ml if over age 1 month) in the front of the mouth on each side or where ever you see the thrush (it doesn't do any good once it's swallowed). Do this 4 times per day.
    • If the thrush isn't responding, rub the medicine directly on the affected areas with a cotton swab.
    • Don't feed your baby anything for 30 minutes after application.
    • Keep this up for at least 7 days, or until all thrush has been gone for 3 days.
