Hi dear,
Candid mouth paint is usually effective for oral thrush. If it is not coming down diagnosis has to be reviewed. Also,simple oral thrush is unlikely to cause refusal to feed. This may indicate other associated systemic infections.
So kindly see your doctor for evaluation

Hope this answer will help.
Thank you.
