If symptoms do not improve with Nystatin, it is advisable to perform an oral culture and a stool culture to identify the mycosis strain and select the appropriate treatment.
The culture will make it possible to determine the species of fungi causing the infection and their drug susceptibility. On this basis, the doctor will be able to choose a more effective antifungal drug.
As for the waiting time after Nystatin, there are no clear recommendations. It is important to strictly follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. If symptoms do not improve after treatment, consult a doctor to modify the treatment.
A visit to an ENT specialist is also advisable, as ringworm can involve the mouth and throat. The ENT specialist will assess the condition of the mouth and throat and possibly recommend additional local treatment.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
