    oh! so I'm looking at about 14 days of this? Ok... At least this is brute
    honesty and not beat-around-the-bush-let's-see-if-this-works-shall-we? type
    stuff that I've been fed the last 4 days... So I suppose then that as long
    as I keep going for the next 12 or 13 days (taking into consideration about
    one or 2 extra days because of the minor setback due to lapse in time
    between doses!) steadily and keep hammering at this medication.... hopefully
    the flora in my throat will somehow stabilize and things will get back to
    normal. I do agree that if I had something to dissolve in the mouth 5 times
    vs. swish and swallow/gag 4 times a day, I think I'd feel so much better! I
    just had no idea that thrush could be so horribly miserable! My youngest
    had it when she was born and the docs and nurses encouraged me to continue
    to nurse her until the thrush resolved itself. She only had it 2 days
    though. But if that was anything like this.... it's no wonder that poor baby
    cried so piteously those first few days of life! I'm just very cranky over
    all this. =/
    Now, another question, is it normal for my voice to become hoarse and raspy
    and strained sounding from the thrush? or is that possibly from something
    different? Thanks again!
