Did it work? Yes, but it came back.<br /> 2. How long did you use it for? A few nights each time<br /> 3. How often did you apply GV? Just on a night because it made my LO look like she had been chewing pens and stained my clothes<br /> 4. Did you notice any negative side effects for you or our LO? No, only cosmetic<br /> 5. Did you use it in combination with another cream (What did you apply in between GV applications if anything) no<br /> 6. What else have you used to treat thrush? Hmmm, I can't remember the name of it but we did try another cream because my LC suggested there could be links between GV and cancer, which freaked me out. My doc said it was safe but prescribed something else to appease me. I will try dig out the container when I get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gentian-violet-users#post-1818119 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 12:08:09 +0000 leelee 1818119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The GV gave me pretty instant relief but was a mess and only temporary. I highly recommend GSE pills 3x a day for you. That was the only thing that helped me treat thrush. For DD he gave her a perscription med that took several weeks to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gentian-violet-users#post-1817853 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 09:24:44 +0000 Meagan2014 1817853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who have used Gentian Violet to treat thrush:</p> <p>1.
