Jackson developed Thrush in his mouth a while back and boy! is it hard to eradicate!! First we tried a prescription given to us by his pediatrician, Nystatin. That did not work. The doctor's next recommendation was another heavy duty anti-fungal called Diflucan. I wasn't too keen on that so we tried a homeopathic remedy called Gentian Violet. It's been used for decades, but because of it's messy nature it isn't widely used today. As you can see it turns everything bright purple! So for about three days Jackson has a purple mouth. But it worked when the prescription's didn't and I was able to avoid wiping out all of his good gut bacteria :) I'll take it!
