A. I'm sorry you're experiencing breastfeeding pain. Here's a concise plan to handle a persisting fungal infection: 1. Consult your doctor about using an antifungal cream. 2. Consider dietary probiotics, but discuss with your doctor first. 3. Maintain good breastfeeding hygiene: keep your breasts dry, change nursing pads often, and wash hands before and after feeding. 4. If topical treatments fail, discuss oral antifungal medication with your healthcare provider. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatments.
