I would have her paint the nipples/areolae with 1/2% gentian violet QD
X5...if cured, continue APNO and treat baby for 2-3 days.
If gentian violet does not significantly improve her symptoms in 3 days, it
is not yeast, and someone needs to observe a feeding when the baby actually
eats! ; ) But the description of the pain, out of proportion with physical
findings suggests yeast to me. Plus she had overgroeth vaginally right
before delivery...
Let us know what happens-
