nystatin observation

[Guest guest]

hi just to let everyone know of our experience with nystatin. we had been

taking it since october, and eddie was doing well on it. after some time of

taking it eddie's mouth, and skin around the area became red, dry, sore. i

didn't put this down to the nystatin as we had already been on it a month or so.

in my last consult with dr goyal we were discussing the red mouth and dr goyal

remembered that in some children it causes irritation around the mouth. so i

stopped it last friday and the mouth has cleared up (no other changes).

When my son had nystatin as a baby  his face and mouth were virtually paralysed.  He drooled, couldn't swallow and his face and eyes drooped.  After repeat episodes with other medication research led me to the benzoates  E210 - E218 that are in most childrens liquid meds.  This was the start of our elimination diet journey and realisation that all preservatives affect his nervous system and cause soreness in his mouth
