Using drops right? : Thrush is a tenacious thing. Best way to use the oral drops is to dip a fresh q tip in the Nystatin oral solution and paint the affected areas. Simply putting oral drops in the mouth will not treat thrush, it needs to be applied directly and thoroughly to the affected areas. And also for a prolonged period of time. If it truly does not resolve, contact your pediatrician.

Should'nt be hard: Oral thrush in infants who are not immunocompromised is easily treated with fluconazole, once daily for 5 to 7 days.
