lidocaine for thrush

Thanks for the feedback on yogurt for the thrush...seems to be a common response...and it doesn't taste bad like licotaine and nystatin!

Also, the lidocaine was with nystatin as a swish and swallow to treat oral thrush after several courses of antibiotics. Not sure if that matters or not.

There's only 2 things I know that cause this frequently while on hep c treatment...An oral fungal infection (like thrush) or a folic acid/ B-12 deficiency...Is your tongue bright red or have a whitish coating? Are you anemic? If it's fungal in origin, a simple mouth swish of a mixture of a children's thrush syrup, lidocaine, and Maalox (or just get a prescription of "Magic Mouthwash") and supplying a source of acidophilous (yogurt, capsules, etc) daily to your body...

Hi I started with the white stuff as well which I recognized as thrush from last tx. I got Mycelex lozenges. Then the problem because my entire mouth felt like I had burned it so my doc called in a concoction called Magic Mouthwash as it has nystatin, something to numb your mouth, even something for itching it has been a miracle for me though it makes me sleepy I am very grateful to all who responded to my earlier questions about my tongue.

If anyone could help would be appreciated..for weeks I had what I thought was oral thrush..one doctor said it was but it kept coming ang going with treatment.. my normal doc who had been away saif this was linchen planus from severe stress,not thrush...could these be confused? and would this cause linchen planus? I am confused and worried...as they say thrush is hiv related..

ve experienced (mild-moderate rash, nausea, dysguisia) this one has to be the worst-eating is almost impossible for a week. PCP swbbed me for strep and hep doc wanted me to go back to PCP for anti-fungal pills. I started to cry to hep doc nurse who understood that I was being misdiagnosed/bounced around by MD's-she called in some pills that will take yet another week to work. Into wk. 8 of tx-ugh! I'm eating greek yogurt for meds protein and soothes a bit.

Then again I suppose one could substitute cocaine for the lidocaine, but of course that comes with it’s own set of issues...

Hi there, I believe it depends on what is going on in his mouth. Some of us get a thrush-like hard plaque in the mouth; I had one for several months on the back of my tongue. My doc Rx’d Nystatin, a swish and swallow suspension. It didn’t seem to do much good; and the condition eventually self-corrected. Another problem that can develop is oral candida; and some of just seem to get miscellaneous sores and ulcers. Most of these will resolve at the end of treatment.

Magic mouthwash relieves pain I swish it before eating and after eating. Kaiser prescribed it to me has lidocaine and statin antibiotic in Maalox solution.

There are no contraindications for using lidocaine for the purpose described. The only danger is that lidocaine completely anesthetizes tissue, which is why you can cut or suture an area treated by lidocaine. Thus it is possible to cause a tear or injury that would not be noticed until the lidocaine wore off. In the case of normal intercourse, this should not be a problem.

This is a question for your doctor or a pharmacist.

It contains lidocaine (which is a topical anesthetic for the pain); Benadryl (diphenhydraminen, an antihistamine to reduce inflammation), and Maalox (an antacid that help to coat the sores and soothe).

Can aspercreme with lidocaine be used on a burn caused by a flame if its not blistered

I am terrified of needles too and I FELT NOTHING.. They used Buffered Lidocaine injection which I did not feel any of.. I must admit, I did put over the counter Lidocaine cream all over my breast about an hour before the procedure. I used this Lidocaine cream on my arm before a tetanus shot that I had to get and was so afraid of and I was screaming for the nurse to WAIT but.. IT WAS ALREADY DONE! Helps a lot so you don't feel pain. Nurse also gave me tips for next time I get an injection.

3 years ago I got thrush, I did the treatments and all the symptoms stopped, except for the heavy discharge. Personally I never had heavy discharge until after the bout of thrush. I did swabs that confirmed I no longer had thrush plus Pap smears and std/Sti tests everything says I'm all normal. But ever since that thrush I've had constant heavy thrush like discharge it must be linked. I'm desperate to find help has anyone experienced this?

Hi Growzer, I'm in Canada, too. Do you have access to a walk-in clinic? Most docs know about Magic Mouthwash. You can also make it yourself in a pinch: equal parts Mylanta, children's Benadryl and viscous lidocaine. The lidocaine can be purchased without a prescription (it's kept behind the counter). Keep in a clean bottle in the fridge, shake well before using as needed. This will tide you over until Tuesday.

Hi there, Unfortunately, what you’re describing sounds very familiar. We get ulcers and thrush-like plaques on treatment. You can continue with the rinse, or tell your doctor; he can prescribe a prescription preparation called ‘magic mouthwash, which contains Nystatin, Maloxx, Benadryl, and Lydocaine. This is a swish and swallow medication that can be compounded by your local pharmacy, and nubs on contact, so at least you can get some relief.

Hello, My sister needs extensive dental work i.e. root canals and fillings and crowns. She is a heart patient and we are wondering if Lidocaine, EPI, or any of the 'caines' are safe for dental work in heart patients? We do not want to start an arrythmia attack. Any safe meds? Thanks much.

Has anyone ever been prescribed this for genital outbreaks or PHN? My doctor did for PHN. I just tried it for the first time it hurt to apply and doesn't feel the most pleasant now. Has anyone ever used this and what was your experience?

I had a follow-up PM appointment today. I haven't seen her in a couple of months. We stopped my Cymbalta about a month ago and it made a HUGE difference in how I feel mentally and emotionally. Apparently that wasn't the drug for me, and it makes no difference in my pain, which was the point of going on it to begin with. I had a terrible fibromyalgia flare-up before Thanksgiving. The worst in a long time. To the point I had to crawl up the stairs and go down on my bum.

Hi Sandy! My doctor also prescribed me the Lidocaine patch for my hip and lower back. (didn't have neck or upper back pain at that time) They only worked for about a day and they also wouldn't stick to my body but I just found out last week that I tore a ligament in my hip so that my be why they didn't work. I hope your dr.can find the right med that helps with your pain!

Not to my knowledge, there is nothing that can cause a positive cocaine result.

Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.

my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches. advice as to where to put the needle (i got from cvs insulin 31g-8mm),what to expect ie: will it burn- how long b4 its numb, and if i split the nail will it grow back? any advice will help..

They wont inject lidocaine into a vein for pain... If they did any dose they give would be negligable for your heart.

Getting lidocaine for wisdom tooth extraction--felt the needle going in and woke up 45 minutes later in ER. I had had a seizure! Hundreds of shots for teeth over the years, never any such experience. Surgeon swore he found no blood in syringe and couldn't understand why I seized. Swore he did everything right, never heard of lidocaine causing a seizure this way. Apologized profusely. I'm now worried about completing the extraction, which has to be done.
