If a mom wants to self treat thrush on nipples, what would be the creams or ointments that she could purchase on her own in the U.S., besides the gentian violet.? Creams used for vaginal yeast or other antifungals? Of course, this would just be providing her info on what meds are generally used to treat thrush, not prescribing or recommending any one of them to her.
