I'm breast feeding, my tyne thinks i have thrush and prescribed betadine douche. can i use it while breast feeding and will it help the thrush?

Yes, you can: There's no problem using betadine douche while breastfeeding. If it helps, great. If you still have symptoms, be sure and ask your gyn again to consider a prescription medication.
