I have thrush and was prescribed nystatin in the oral rinse form. i am looking for instructions on how to use this (specifically if i am to swallow)?

Swallow : Yes you should swallow after holding it as much as possible and swift around your mouth. The recommended doses are between 4-6 ml every 6 hr and usually continue to use it after 48 hrs of the symptoms resolved.
