"Medication will stain your teeth (for a month), your tongue (for a week after you finish). I recommend putting down a piece of cardboard over your sink. Gentian violet will permanently stain tiles. Apply Vaseline around the mouth and on lips; otherwise, you will appear to be wearing blue lipstick. Wear gloves and apply in and around the areas with thrush 3 times a day for 7 days. I only recommend this medication if you have already tried Nystatin 100,000 units prescription as directed by an MD, PA, CRNP, or DO. If you are medically able to take fluconazole or another 'azole' medication, your medical professional most likely will have you do so. This medication is for us people who are not able to use 'azoles' due to allergy or medication interaction."
