>I have a Mom about 6 wks pp who has been treating with diflucan; 200mg-first
dose, 100mg/day since, for the last 13 days with absolutely no change in the
deep, breast pain. My initial suggestion was for the 200mgX1 then 100mg bid
but her obstetrician decided on the above after consulting with another LC-
would rather treat "conservatively".
My question is how likely is another week of treatment (which is what I
suggested, along with another loading dose) to effect this problem? Or should
I move right over to the i......conazole
suggestion. The baby is also receiving diflucan for persistent thrush (s/p
nystatin), Mom to try gentian violet to herself and baby today.<
Hi all,   the above was the original post from 4/24, unfortunately I didn't
receive any responses, fortunately I didn't need any as I didn't hear back
from Mom til tonight and she is cured! She did continue, as suggested above,
with the diflucan for another week and a 1 wk course of gentian violet to
herself and babe. Interestingly enough she saw no improvement until the 6th
day when all s/s disappeared! That totals 3 wks. diflucan and 6 days gentian
violet. She is convinced it was the gentian violet that worked, I don't
know......Does anyone have any thoughts?
