Rooster with sour crop?? Help please!?

[Birdmom2020]

I think my roo has sour crop. He's not eating but he won't stop drinking. He seems to like spit up. I know that chickens can't vomit but he has liquid coming out of his mouth. His crop is big and squishy and feels like a water balloon. He's not crowing and is slow moving if he moves at all. I'm not sure what to do but everything I google about what's going on with him comes to sour crop. I do know that he's not impacted because there is nothing hard anywhere around his crop. It's just a big soft squishy lump. I don't want him to have any lasting problems from this and want to get it cleared up as soon as possible. I have him separated from the others. I was reading another post where it said nystatin is safe for them. I have some in cream form that was prescribed for my baby when he had diaper rash. Can I use this?

Thank you! I was thinking to tag a few people but not quite sure who. I know in the last one I just got done reading @Wyorp Rock was really helpful with her. But mines a roo not a hen so idk how different things would be.

Is a vet an option?

No. There aren't any that will see chickens here.

@K0k0shka, What do you think is the best option?
