Hi, all! I've looked through the archives and the volume of posts on thrush makes it next to impossible to narrow my search to this particular question, and I don't ever recall anyone specifically addressing this issue. I have a mother who had significant improvement in her thrush symptoms (pain went from a 10 to a 3) after 3 days of gv for both baby and herself. Since her symptoms were not completely gone, I was going to suggest a second 3-day course of gv (possibly adding Dr. Jack's "all purpose nipple ointment"). The mother asked me whether she should just wait another couple of days as she was still noting continuing improvement even on the second day after stopping gv. I wasn't sure whether the risks of worsening symptoms were worth waiting, and wasn't really certain at what point to re-treat. I had read one post in which gv was simply continued for 7 days, and other posts where re-treatment was done, but the interval between re-treatments was not really specified. I'm interested in suggestions about how soon (and how often) re-treatment with gv is advisable in such a setting. TIA, Alicia Dermer, MD, IBCLC.
