Avatar f tn Ok so I was just diagnosed with this problem and I can't eat or drink anything. The pain is horrible. Is there anything I can do to suppress the pain just for a couple hours or an,hour just to eat or drink. I havnt actaully eaten in almost 5 days because of this. the hospital let me go last night because they found out what, was causing me pain. All they gave me was Lidocaine 2% 3 bottles for I don't know what reason I guess for my throat because that's what they said I went in for..
Avatar m tn The amount of time for which fluconazole stays in the system depends on the dosage. It also varies with the body systems. On average it will be active in the body for about a week. Hence consult your dermatologist and get the fungal culture repeated only when he /she advises. Hope that this information helps and hope that you get better soon. Wishing you good health.
Avatar f tn ve taken fluconazole when pregnant for yeast infections and it is commonly prescribed during pregnancy and has no pregnancy at the regular dose during the second trimester. During the first, at higher doses of 400 to 800 mg a day, you shouldn't take it but you should be fine now. Flagyl is pregnancy category B. That means it was not shown to affect a fetus in limited studies. It's also pretty commonly given during pregnancy.
Avatar n tn It is OTC but you have to ask for it. It does not cure but it does help to clear the candidia up for a while. If you have insurance there are prescriptions for yeast infections.
Avatar n tn I had regular candida infections which my dr prescribed fluconazole for a few times over the years which I suspect is from the overuse of antibiotics and now I have candida glabrata as of earlier this year which my dr has only prescribed my fluconazole for (I know from reading on this it is not the correct treatment and am visiting my dr soon to discuss. I've heard with the candida glabrata it usually affects immunicompromized people which scares me more.
Avatar n tn Again, nothing on the glans, just redness and itchiness of the foreskin. I took fluconazole (oral) for a second time and bought myself Canesten cream (2% clotrimazole) and have been using it ever since. It's been almost 4 months. I no longer have any symptoms. It doesn't itch, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't smell ( i haven't had any bad smells and/or discharges ever before anyway ), but the redness just doesn't go away. It's been like that for the past 3 months or so.
Avatar f tn With herpes, they'll need to take samples. You should go back and get tested if you think that rash looks and feels funky.
Avatar m tn The most stupid thing I have done in my life. I did not have any sex for several years, however it is not a justification for what I have done as it is contrary to all my values. A part from this I am concerned about the health risk. I received uprotected oral sex and then vaginal intercourse with condom. Here is the problem, my penis went soft and some of her liquid could have enter the condom, I am not sure. 5 days later I got a terrible itching to the top part of the penis.
Avatar m tn oh and the doctor gave me medicine for thrush anyway (two 100 mg fluconazole pills one to take that day and one for 2 days later) and it didnt go away so it must not be thrush
Avatar f tn On Saturday the doctor prescribed me biaxin, a different antibiotic, and one dose of fluconazole 150mg. I am still taking the antibiotic for another week. My question is since it is monday and the redness and swelling has gone down, but not the discharge will the yeast infection go away even if I'm still on antibiotics?
Avatar m tn A small section of my right cheek,Doctor first prescribed anti fungal cream (clotrimazole)+fluconazole weekly tabs for three weeks, cleared for a week then problem still persisted,urine test for chlamydia was negative,blood tests including blood sugar level normal.I dont expect much from the pinworm test and culture test since clotrimazole had cleared the small roughness (the skin looked normal all the way)Could be candida?BUT also i have BPH...could it be a prostate infection?
Avatar f tn 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. I find that fluconazole (Diflucan) works better than any of the others I've tried except Mycelex troches (which helps somewhat). In spite of trying yogurt, lactobacillus pills, caprylic acid, and eating less sugary food, and taking 150 mg of fluconazole daily for a over a week, the infection always returns.
Avatar m tn It is safe for you to take the Fluconazole. You may see some improvement in a day or two, but do not taken another dose of Fluconazole until well after a week if you still have any problems. Follow the directions that are on the information leaflet that comes with the medication. As a home remedy you can also, after washing and drying gently, you can apply natural set yogurt. Don't have any sex until you are well healed. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn I have had uti since 2 years old (kidney reflux) that turned into to major kidney stone problem and I was infected with ESBL ecoli. For the past 2 years I have a fungal infection in my urine. I have had 6 rounds of diflucan to no avail. My urology dr is at a loss. Should I be seeing an infectious disease dr at this point? When I take diflucan I feel better quickly. Once I stop within a few days I feel terrible again. They prescribe diflucan for 14 days. Had it 6 x’s. Always comes back.
Avatar f tn For the past couple of weeks or so I've been suffering from painful vaginal thrush. I've also noticed that my tongue has turned white but this is painless. It's mostly bad in the morning and it's effected my sense of taste. My doctor is on the fence about whether it's actually thrush but I'm pretty sure it is. I've suffered from these conditions before and it was very hard to treat but was eventually cleared with a course of Fluconazole and some pessaries.
Avatar f tn Your estrogen levels are ok, they vary enormously at your age, one blood test means nothing. When you say your sex hormone, do you mean testosterone? Your sex drive, libido, must be low because you’re having these yeast infections. If fluconazole isn’t working your doctor should have changed it for another antifungal agent. My opinion? Find another doctor asap.
Avatar n tn because in the long run you would develop Candida and I am sure that the majority that has PATM who abusedly tried antifungals and others developed for that reason, candida diets as well as others they are strictly controlled by doctors, they are not complex at all, otherwise the candida on populace will develop and ........ That is why I do not try antibiotics and antifungals if it is not with the doctor's guide, the diets if I tried and They didn't work for me.
Avatar m tn Second time I went to a doctor I got prescribed fluconazole 200 mg, 1 pill per week for 12 weeks, plus clotrimazole cream. I have taken 5 out of the 12 pills, so 7 more weeks to go. I recently finished the whole tube of clotrimazole cream and have been using coconut oil as a substitute (read online that it worked well for male candida). The white spots were well gone within a few days of the first fluconazole pill, but for the past 4 weeks I haven't seen many changes.
Avatar n tn So my doc prescribe me fluconazole for a yeast infection I'm currently 30wks pregnant, when I picked it up it had 2 little packets in it with one pill each and doc says to take 1 a day but as I'm reading the instructions it says 1pill clears everything and you only need a 1time dosage. Do I take both pills or just one why would he prescribe me 2 if directions clearly state 1? Any ladies ever had to take for yeast infection while preggo what did your doc prescribe?
Avatar m tn What is the usual dosage for treatment of toenail fungus with Diflucan? My doctor prescribed it to me and it just seems to be different than normal. He said to take 100 mg/daily for the first 10 days of each month until it's gone. Is that a normal regimen?
Avatar f tn Try an elimination diet, starting with gluten/wheat elimination, which is the most common offensive group. This one takes the longest, so you must endure this for a a few weeks. The second most offensive is dairy, which should be also 2nd in order of elimination. You may also try Dr. Cocoa's Pulse test-free download- it requires one week of pulse taking at various times and recording of every food ingested.
Avatar m tn Treatment usually includes antimycotics or antifungal drugs such as nystatin, fluconazole, or ketoconazole. Ask your doctor to check you for candida and see if it is the culprit.
Avatar m tn He has been to the doctors and was prescribed medication Fluconazole for candida my friend has now taken two courses of this medication and it has not helped . I think that I may of been infected due to sharing a plate of BBQ ribs as we only used our hands this was 4 weeks ago at the time my friend was complaining of a sore throat.
