A member asked:
Can i dilute nystatin for oral thrush with water... ent said to dilute it, but online it says not to, now am wondering did i misunderstand him... can i or not, thanks?

Don't dilute: It's best not to dilute it. That would reduce the amount of exposure of the infected area to the nystatin. It might still work, but there is no research and it's safest not to take the chance.
