Symbicort oral thrush

Common Questions and Answers about Symbicort oral thrush

symbicort

Avatar f tn My question however is, if I stop taking the Symbicort and the Avamys will the thrush go away, or should I go see my doctor to get anti-fungal stuff (i.e. Nystatin)? I am still on antibiotics for the pneumonia (I have 7 more days to go), and I know that antibiotics can also cause thrush. I'm reasonably sure that it is the Symbicort though, simply because any inhaled steroid I take ends up giving me strep or thrush.
Avatar f tn I use Biotene products and they help somewhat. I get mouth ulcers from having a dry mouth and using Symbicort. Maalox/liquid Benadryl eases the pain, but doesn't prevent the mouth ulcers. I also get repeated thrush infections despite brushing and rinsing everytime I use Symbicort. I'm sure it has to do with dry mouth. I hope someone has a good solution, as I haven't found anything useful and I'm getting really, really tired of mouth ulcers and thrush.
Avatar n tn I am a diabetic on oral meds. Some months ago I started taking Symbicort inhaler for asthma. Since then my blood sugar is soaring. What can I do.
718416 tn?1259680550 I have recently been prescribed symbicort, but for some reason I read that corticosteroids are more widely used? Does anyone know whether long term acting beta agonists or cortisteroids are safer long term? What is safer on the heart? Also does xanax counter effect the high blood pressure etc. associated with asthma medicines?

620048 tn?1358018235 I got thrush from advair and taking an antibiotic at the same time. I switched to symbicort and it has never happened again even with an antibiotic. Thrush is a fungal infection and hives an allergic reaction. Thrush often happens when the bodies resistance is down. My friend with AIDS had thrush a lot.
959034 tn?1253671476 m allowed to take up to 8/day of symbicort 200 on a regular basis. That is the beauty of this one. Unfortunately Symbicort doesn't come in a stronger dose,as I was informed by my specialist. The only other one that is stronger is Advair 500...but you can't up the number of puffs on that one like you can with Symbicort, so it too is self limiting. I'm working on this issue yet with my specialist. I will let you know what solution she comes up with...
1512008 tn?1290210749 The research I have done on thrush said not to use mouth washes as they tend to dry out the mouth which encourages thrush growth. Thrush is a yeast and salt kills yeast (bread baking principle). I decided to try a warm saline gargle to see if that helped any and it seems to be helping me. Feel better.
Avatar f tn Yes, I'm on diflucan for thrush. I got it from Symbicort for asthma...it has an inhaled steroid in it. I was on antibiotics a month ago for a sinus infection and strep throat, so that probably contributed to my getting it. It's starting to go away...it doesn't hurt as much and not as many white fuzzy spots :) Ho, Ho, Ho!
1580703 tn?1651904887 I've been on symbicort/proventil and singulair for months and I'm still having trouble breathing, chest tightness, exhaustion- I went through 2 courses of prednisone and methylprinosolone a few months ago
Avatar f tn It just makes people worry and panick for no reason. And yes, you can get oral thrush from giving oral sex to a male or female, although again the internet says it’s “uncommon,” you must be “immunocompromised” or you have an “immune deficiency such as HIV/AIDS” in order to get it.
Avatar m tn I have had breathing tests that shows my lung capacity is 65%. I just started to take Symbicort. Could the Symbicort be raising my blood pressure, or is it all in my head? When I take my BP a couple of hours after taking Symbicort its high. My Meds are: Crestor 40mg Amlodine 5mg Synthroid .250mcg Lisinopril 40mg twice a day Zolpidem 10mg Metoprolol 50mg one & 1/2 pills twice a day Symbicort 80/4.
Avatar m tn Is oral thrush a late stage symptom? I had a possible exposure 2 months ago. could i've already delvolped thursh if infected. The incident was with my ex-girlfriend(i have no reason to believe she has it). Just worried about the symptom is all.
Avatar n tn Can you tell me what changes come about in the tongue if we are suffering from oral thrush. Right now i fel i have thrish as i have a pinkish white coating over my tongue. In the last two weeks because of this i used my tongue cleaner often which has resulted in cuts on my tongue and it is bleeding from two areas. It is ore when touched in that area.
Avatar m tn For oral thrush you do require the correct medication and you can purchase without or without a prescription from your doctor an oral gel to treat oral thrush called Daktarin. You can purchase this from your pharmacy. Nystatin drops is another treatment for oral thrush, but I believe you can only get this by prescription from your doctor. At home, you can eat natural live yogurts, cut out or cut down on sugary foods and drinks.
959034 tn?1253671476 I take Prednisone, Symbicort, and Theo-Dur all daily. I use my ProAir only as needed. Anyone have any suggestions?
Avatar f tn ve had a blood test at 6 weeks for syphilis and HIV which was negative and 2 negative gonorrhoea and chlymidia throat swabs, personally I would think these were convulsive? Could the oral thrush of prevented oral gonorrhoea being detected?
Avatar f tn I’ve been suffering for 3 months now with oral thrush and burning mouth, I’ve tested negative for all Std with multiple tests 17 times in fact and been diagnosed with Chronic Prostatis. Initially was in a 3 month course of different antibiotics and a week after finishing I developed the oral thrush. I’ve tried everything to get rid of it including Fluconazole, nystatin and daktatin but it just comes back.
Avatar f tn If it is confirmed that the mouth problem is oral Thrush, but not thrush in your genital area, you will be prescribed with medication to treat oral thrush. You can purchase this from the pharmacy and it is called Daktarin for oral use. Your doctor may prescribe Nystatin drops, but you cannot purchase these without a prescription.
Avatar m tn Oral thrush is not HIV specific. Anyone can get thrush at any time and at any age.
1370202 tn?1315348638 Just because you have oral thrush does not meen you have HIV. Oral thrush is very common. If you think you had a risk of HIV dont go by symptoms. Get tested.
