A member asked:
What is better for oral thrush. nystatin drops or lozenges? im on lozenges for 3 days with little improvement.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not thrush: Both should be equally effective. But maybe not yeast infection (thrush), especially if not professionally diagnosed. Self diagnosis is unreliable, and most cases of white coated tongue or other white patches in the mouth are not yeast at all.
