Treating Thrush

The first step in treating thrush is to contact a health-care provider. Mother and baby need to be treated simultaneously for at least two weeks, and breastfeeding need not be affected. In Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession, Ruth Lawrence, MD, recommends doctors prescribe liquid nystatin for the baby’s mouth and a nystatin cream for the mother to apply to her nipples and areolae (the dark areas around the nipples). Nystatin pills or liquid for the mother may be necessary if deep breast pain develops or if the thrush recurs after a full course of treatment. Some strains of thrush have become resistant to nystatin, so if the nystatin does not bring relief, other drugs may be necessary. Over-the-counter preparations and other prescription drugs are available and may be used on the recommendation of a health-care professional.

In mild cases of thrush, once treatment has begun, relief may be felt in twenty-four to forty-eight hours. In severe cases, the symptoms may take three to five days to disappear. It is important that the medication be continued for the entire time recommended, since the thrush may recur if the medication is stopped when the symptoms disappear.
Comfort Measures during Treatment

When treatment for thrush is started, the symptoms may seem worse for a day or two before they improve. To help speed relief, try rinsing the nipples with clear water and air drying them after each nursing, as thrush thrives on milk and moisture.

Before the pain is gone, the following suggestions may help make nursing more comfortable:

* offer short, frequent feedings,
* nurse first on the less sore side (if there is one), and
* break the baby’s suction before taking him off the breast by gently pulling on the baby’s chin or by inserting your finger into the corner of his mouth.
