I would suggest "as long as necessary" - she should take a 6 day course, but if everything is fine I think there is little to be gained by taking more (and of course, the risk of thrush increases with more antibiotics). The recent Australian guidelines say 10 days - so I am speaking in my not so humble opinion here! Lisa Amir" I have read ten days also. I've been too busy to check but have also wondered if these 10 day treatments are all extrapolated from treating strep pharyngitis. -Rob *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
