For how many days to treat sour crop it’s been months that I have treated my hen. Also she gots a bit of food on her neck feathers that she cleans right now she was cleaning her neck feathers that had bit of wet food mush on it and some of it she eats

Here's what I would do. It sounds like her crop may not be emptying. Do keep in mind that often there's more going on and the bird is suffering from an underlying condition.
Since you did have some yeast(?) canker(?) issues in the past. Then I would treat for sour crop.

You can find Clotrimazole (Athlete's foot cream) at the dollar tree, dollar store or walmart.
Get some of that. Give your hen 1/2" of the cream twice a day for 7 days. In addition to the cream, give your hen 1 tsp coconut oil twice a day.
Don't massage the crop. Don't vomit the hen.
Make sure she's staying hydrated. You can syringe fluids and wet food into her or if possible, tube feed her. Links and photos to follow. .

So no miconazole? That’s what they recommended me for sour crop, also got nystatin/medistatin

It shatters my heart to say she has passed away I was feeding her and she started opening her beak bit by bit and it turned into loud sneezing which she fell from my arms and she kept moving a bit on the ground and sneezing. This hurts it ****ing hurts man, this has scared man
I'm sorry about your hen :(

For future reference, Medistatin is fine to use to treat sour crop, some folks report that it doesn't work that well.
Miconazole is a good choice. If you have that, then there's no need to get Clotrimazole.

She’s now in a better place of no more suffering may she rest easy now

I’m sorry about your hen.If you still have the body, maybe you could send it in to a state lab for necropsy? That would help you to know what happened and to better treat your chickens in the future if you were to run into a similar situation in the future.
