Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.


I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.





Soreness of the mouth, you are experiencing is due to antibiotic use and not from Nystatin. Instead, Nystatin is helping reduce the soreness and restore the normal function and lining of oral mucosa. However, this action would take a little bit to take place, so must be patient and persistent in following your doctor's advice rigorously. For the moment, I'd advise to apply glycerin of borax locally to help ease the local irritation. Avoid citrus and other acidic foods/drinks.





Hope I have answered your query.
