Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain if you have oral thrush and you are not getting relieved by Nilstate that is an anti-fungal agent Nystatin then you need to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated as there can be some common underlying causes that are causative for Thrush like Dry mouth, intake of antibiotics and steroids, medical conditions like Diabetes, HIV etc, smoking etc..
The physician can do a thorough evaluation and once thrush is diagnosed treatment of underlying cause can help..
For resolving the active infection anti-fungal medications like oral Fluconazole or Itraconazole can help..
Continue using Nystatin mouthwash..
Clotrimazole lozenges can help..
Taking probiotics like Yoghurt and garlic can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
