Facial thrush in 6 week old- what is the best topical treatment ? he's already on oral miconazole for his mouth. thank you

Nystatin cream: Some thrush (50-70%) is resistant to Miconazole and nystatin, and you do not want to use anything he can eat. If it does not get better, your dr may prescribe oral diflucan--systemic, not topical, but more effective.
