Glenn, before we get too far off the beaten path let me be a bit clearer. The first question I asked before taking the solution home was whether or not it could be swallowed. I'm not exactly sure how someone might get relief from any throat discomfort otherwise. Also, nystatin is an antifungal, but if you mix it in a 1/3 solution with 1/3 lidocaine or hurricaine someone else will be calling the doctor for you. The correct dosages for a three-part solution would be 5cc Nystatin, 15cc Maalox and 2.5cc Hurricaine. The prescription ingredients and strengths are available from the doctor, if you ask. I did. The main reason I even brought up doing it yourself was for anyone thinking of saving some cash, which you can, especially if your HMO doesn't cover alot of the meds!

I have percocet standing by if the pain gets too bad, but I feel extremely fortunate thus far.
