Dealing with thrush can be challenging, and Nystatin Oral Suspension has been a lifesaver for many. This antifungal medicine targets yeast infections in the mouth and throat effectively. However, like any medication, it comes with potential side effects. I've been using it for a while now, and while it works well, I've experienced some unpleasant side effects like an upset stomach and diarrhea. Has anyone else had similar experiences? How did you manage them? Additionally, I'm curious about the rare but severe side effects mentioned. Has anyone encountered anything like that? Let's share our stories and tips for making the most of this treatment.

I was prescribed Gentian Violet 2% Solution 59ml for a case of oral thrush. I've used it a couple of times now, and while it seems to be doing the trick, I'm left with a purple mouth that's a dead giveaway! Has anyone else used this and dealt with the staining? Also, I'm curious about potential side effects. The leaflet mentioned skin irritation and allergic reactions. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'd love some tips on how to manage this treatment effectively.
