1369218 tn?1282423884 I was on nystatin for 6 weeks and then took diflucan for a week and even did an oral nystatin for 7 days. I have just been to my regular doc and wondering if a dentist would be more helpful with this. Are there any over the counter remedies I can do too? Thanks!!
1070570 tn?1283436213 Hello! I am a 23 yr old female with hypothyroidism, CFS, chronic EBV, and chronic sinusitis. I've been feeling really badly for the past 3 months and my doctor has just decided to treat me for possible yeast overgrowth based on the recurring sinusitis, vaginal infections, white tongue,etc that I have.
Avatar n tn What was your risk ? When was your last risk? Generally, if the Diflucan or Nystatin does NOT work on your thrush, it's NOT thrush. Oral thrush is fairly common in many HIV negative individuals. Thrush does NOT equal HIV. HIV can NOT be diagnosed by ANY symptoms or lack of. You need to test 3 months after your LAST possible exposure ( unprotected anal/vaginal sex, IV drug use). Antibiotics are known to worsen oral thrush.
Avatar m tn You can try some saltwater gargles and probiotics. If your thrush persists, call your doctor for some Diflucan.
1435895 tn?1304291241 I am taking a few things now for symptoms like pain and some mild nausea. Then of course the thrush and the steroids. Other than that med free.... Yay! The surgery is so worth it. I honestly have better for the most part than I have felt in 10 years or more. Is amazing to realize what we have lived with as "our normal." Hang in there guys and I will be back soon. Hugs!
639543 tn?1297027634 HOWEVER, if this does not take care of the problemin a few days....ask about oral diflucan for both of you. Sometimes people and the yeast are resistant to the nystatin. If you ARE nursing and it gets too bad it could be very painful for you.
674021 tn?1295489762 My 3 week old got thrush and his pedi prescribes Nysatin for him,ut after taking it for 3 days it seems like no progress has been made and it also makes him throw up. My mom told me about Gentian violet and I was wondering if any of you guy's ever used it on ur newborns?
Avatar f tn No thrush is not one of the first symptoms you get. Thrush is not HIV specific. Anyone can get thrush at any time.
Avatar n tn There are many things that can cause thrush. If your condom broke for sure get tested at your 3 month mark. Intill then try not to over antalize it. Because some internet sites will say even a hang nail is a ARS symptom.
2118271 tn?1337463104 What else can I take for resistant thrush if that is what it is? I take a high probiotic count, and I am suspicious i am allergic to diary ever since I had C. Diff (I get blotchy skin on my stomach when i consume dairy now) otherwise I would down Kefir like no tomorrow. Please help! I want this yeast to stay away, but it appears to be extremely resistant.
Avatar f tn They are raised spots and cannot be wiped away. Was treated for thrush with several different medication. finally sent to ENT where they found I had chronically infected adenoids. ENT felt that the tongue was underlying reason because of the infection how ever been on antibiotics for 5 days and still have spots. Any thoughts on what else it could be?
Avatar f tn So about 2 months ago I had an outbreak and learned I had general herpes. One month ago I developed oral thrush. I have taken a suspension, diflucan, and lozenge and the thrush is not improving. I was concerned there could be something larger wrong since the herpes and thrush issues started. I got a CBC, thyroid, blood sugar, mono and strep test- all results fine. My doctor wants me to go to the ENT next. I had my annual in April and hiv test was negative...
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!
Avatar f tn I have tried to nystatin a couple of times plus difulcan 150mg for 7 days over and over since the end of September and I am currently on diflucan 100mg for 30 days since January 29, 2015. I am about done with that and it is still there..I can't get it to clear up. Just to let you know, I have lupus (sle), sjogren's syndrome, raynaunds, fibromyalgia, interstital cystitis, ibs, reflux, possible adrenal fatigue which I see my kidney dr.
1947337 tn?1331423890 Call ur Dr and they will most likely RX DIFLUCAN.....u can get Thrush from being intubated and getting a scratch in ur throat....... I had it after ankle surgery....and got on the meds right away and it took care of it... But if not treated it can make ur tongue swell and make talking difficult....not to say that it could not affect ur breathing....so call ur Dr.
Avatar f tn Hi, it's ok, first just slow down, I will help , :) You said you just took a 10 day supply of antibiotics? I already know what it more than problaby is. it happens to be from taking the oral antibiotics, it messes with a females p' levels, and can rec havoc down south, and yes cause that - what you have been going thru , down there.
Avatar f tn my nipple itching ended up being thrush! I took Diflucan and applied clotrimazole and it went away.
Avatar f tn Okay I've had yellow discahrge and burning since last July. I've been tested for STI's all were negative. Well last Friday my girlfriend took me to the hospital because of the burning and the pain the hospital tested for trich yeast gonherra and chlymidia. They said it was all negative and sent me home. Well I went to my gyno Tuesday and she checked me for yeast and said I had a horrible yeast infection that I had to have for months.
349463 tn?1333571576 Its getting better for me finally. Eli is 8 weeks tomorrow. We have had issues with nipple confusion and have battled thrush for 7 weeks! I'm on my 4th week of diflucan and just got a refil for my son's nystatin. We tried everything before going to diflucan/nystatin: genitian violet, APNO, and grapefruit seed exstract. They all failed. Now about 75% of his feedings are pain free! Yay!

Avatar m tn About 2 months later, another doc put me on antibiotics for several weeks. It was at this time that my small case of thrush became a full blown monster. Since then, I have been on ketoconazole 3x, I am currently finishing my 3rd cycle that has lasted nearly 1 month. I have gone through 2x 10day nystatin suspension every 4-6 hours (while on ketoconazole). I started taking acidophillus pills, garlic pills, apple cider vinegar pills, rinsing with organic apple cider vinegar.
Avatar f tn Yep sounds like thrush (yeast infection). All you need to do to treat it is to get an antifungal from the chemist. They are generally available over the counter so you don't need to go to the doctor. You can get a once only tablet (fluconazole - Diflucan) or you can use a cream or pessary such as canesten (clotrimazole). It is very common to get thrush after antibiotics as they kill off all the good bacteria and allow there to be an overgrowth of Candida (the yeast that causes thrush).
Avatar f tn I have had weekly thrush infections for over three years now and have yet to find out exactly why this keeps recurring. My tongue has been cultured, and the coating was found to be Candida albicans. I've been to quite a few doctors, including ENT, infectious disease, allergy, and gastroenterology specialists. Not one of them can offer me any advice on how to rid myself of this painful illness, except for advising me to use antifungals on a regular basis.
Avatar f tn Does this sound like thyroid to you and do you know why i would keep getting oral thrush? I have been treated many times with diflucan for vaginal yeast but the oral didn't devlop until after 7 months of flagyl, 2 steroid shots, ashtama inhlaer and bactrium treatment. Now it won't go away with diflucan treatment.
