Patricia, Could the toddler take diflucan for a quicker cure? Acetaminophen or ibuprofen (peds form) for pain? Maybe a cold popsicle prior to offering the breast? Could she use some type of anesthetic in mouth? Lidocaine I think is available in some form, to use on mucus memb. The one I have used tastes awful, and I don't know if kiddies can use it. Maybe Dr. Hale can help. Laurie Wheeler
