Judy, I cringed when I read about the ointment you alluded to. Herpes &
Thrush are 2 very different problems and the C...P.. would not be a good
idea. The phenol is an astringent- my nipples cringe to think of it. Thrush
needs an antifungal. I found the best soothing is to start treatment. I
recommend moms rinse their breasts off after feeds to remove the breastmilk
(now don't ugh just yet...) because milk is sweet and damp, a wonderful
medium in which to grow. I don't know but am not so sure BM has any
antifungal capabilities. She can resume applying BM after the nipples are
healed.
