This stuff is AWESOME! It's an antifungal medicine and can be used to treat for thrush. 2 of my friends who are paramedics told me about it and one learned about it from La Leche League. You can find it in Walgreens and CVS, just ask the pharicist. My dd got thrush about 2 weeks ago and I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it; nystatin, yogurt, sterilizing everything and nothing worked! I got the G.V. the night before last, put in her mouth the night and twice yesterday and it's almost gone!!! You put it in their mouth with a qtip once or twice a day, depending on how bad it is, before they eat. Be sure not to get it on their clothes because it will stain, you can get it off skin with a wipe.
Here are some articles on it.
