Diflucan to treat thrush
Common Questions and Answers about Diflucan to treat thrush
diflucan
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).
Your doctor should prescribe u what ever u need for the infection .
Antibiotics are one of the main causes of thrush and it important to take diflucan as soon as you take your last antibiotic to prevent geting thrush. But you also said you have taken diflucan many times so this may be of no help to you.
Anyway you need to go back to your doctor and demand more investigation into this. what an awful time you are going through. Maybe you have become immune to diflucan? Say it to your doctor and see if there is anything else he could give you.
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.
Hi and sorry you are going through all this. The Candida or thrush can be resistant to diflucan so they gave you the Nystatin which should work much better. Are you still on the Nystatin? Regarding the RMSF did they do a test to determine you were positive or did they go by symptoms? Did your fever go down within 72 hours after taking the Doxycycline? If it didn't you could have something else that has symptoms like it such as Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis.
Would someone please enlighten me about thrush. I was on antibiotics after an exposure(condom broke having vaginal sex). I was taking 2 types of antibiotics and then after 6 days my tongue started turning white. I stopped taking antibiotics nearly 2 weeka ago now but my tongue is still white, so my question is does thrush from antibiotics go away on its own or you'll have to take medication for it?
No thrush is not one of the first symptoms you get. Thrush is not HIV specific. Anyone can get thrush at any time.
5 weeks ago I had sex with a csw, condom broke and a few days later had a night sweat and I developed a candida infection in my tongue and about 7 days later also in my penis foreskin, a few days later the candida on my penis went away but Istill have some thrush, is that possible to be ars? now I have fungus infection on my penis too and Im on diflucan but that's not working at all, is that a early hiv symptom?
I immediately treated myself for thrush, having suffered previously, although the symptoms appeared more severe. When it failed to clear, I went to my doctor who examined me and prescribed more thrush treatment. After three lots of thrush treatment, I was terrified that I had an STD and went to a private clinic and was tested for several STD's as well as thrush. The results were clear.
) my GP prescribed me some cream used to treat yeast infections (thrush) as well as a single dose of an antibiotic that treats fungal infections but so far nothing has changed. I bathed in a salt bath yesterday but that made no difference either I've barely slept at all in 5 nights because this is so bad now, please help!!
She also perscribed Diflucan since the antibiotic was strong and i tend to develop yeast infections. She told me to take the Diflucan after the 10 day antibiotic was thru. Day 2 on the antibiotic i engaged in oral sex with my boyfriend. By Day 4 i had a full blown yeast infection most likely from the combination of the oral sex and antibiotic. I took the Diflucan. Day 5 i got my period. What do i do now?? And can i re-fill my Diflucan to take when i am thru with the antibiotic??
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?
Medela makes a sort of breast shield Or nipple former that you can put on that will let your nipples air dry. You need to expose them to air as much as possible. If you have to have a bra on the nipple former will help keep your bra from touching your nipples. It also has a little sponge in it that will absorbe the milk you leak. Good luck! Thrush *****!!!
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...
I dont know if this is thrush. I have had the same problem for 3 and a half years. My tongue is white coated, i feel like i have scratches all over it. My lips even stayed constantly dry and chapped feeling for years. I still have it and have been to over 20 doctors for it. I have been checked for thrush and candida 3 or 4 times with no positive result. Once i was even checked for systymatic yeast. I have been to oral surgeons, mouth specialists and a million other doctors.
Hi, welcome to the forum, you need a detailed evaluation. First thing need to be ruled out is oropharyngeal candidiasis or thrush. Candidiasis, it can present in many ways (white plaque, erythematous and beefy appearance).
Candida is yeast which is responsible for this. But this should be confirmed by KOH preparation and microscopy which will show the candidial growth. This usually occurs in immunocompromised condition like diabetes, steroid therapy or HIV.
Hello, I've been recently diagnosed pre diabetic. Is it possible that this is causing a recurrent hard to treat yeast infection? I've tried Monistat and Diflucan. Neither work. It feels better at first but then it's right back with a vengeance. I've had many yeast infections over the years and never one that just wouldn't go away. Thoughts?
