Do I have to treat his hands with Canesten if he puts it in his mouth all the time? Thank you!

Question

My 6 month old has thrush, he is currently on Nystatin for 14 days 4x a day. He has already done a 10 day treatment that did not work. I wash and sterilize his bottles and pacifiers every time I use them. Yes, I consulted a doctor! It is indeed lily of the valley. Thank you very much for the information! Have a nice day!

Hello, no need to treat his hands However, continue to wash and clean bottles, pacifiers and toys. If you are breastfeeding, do not forget to treat your nipples I recommend that you continue and complete the thrush treatment. Have you had it diagnosed by a doctor? Some people may confuse thrush with 'milk tongue'.
