Oral thrush

Juniper · Apr 25, 2008

I am constantly getting oral thrush. I go to docs and get a weeks worth of pills . Fluconaze i think they call them , but in a few weeks i get it back again. I swill my mouth out and drink water after doing my nebs. I've cut certain things out of my diet after reading they can irritate it i.e. white bread

Just wondered if anyone has any tips cos its starting to bug me. Its so uncomfortable having a furry mouth and at worst a lump in my throat.

I have had it a few times, just after my tx and early last summer. I was put on <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nystatin">Nystatine</a> until it went away, I think that was in about a week. It's a liquid(very sweet, made me think of the pink or yellow antibiotic that I used to get as a small kid) and had to keep it in my mouth for a few minutes before spitting it out.

I don't know what to do not to get it, sorry. I haven't had it for a while now and don't know what had changed when I did or didn't have it...

Hope you feel better soon!

Hi,

I've also used Nyastatin. I get thrush everytime I'm on IV antibiotics. I would try several things if you don't want an anti-fungal medicine.

1) Brush your tongue with your toothbrush and get that stuff off.

2) Use an antiseptic mouthwash---this can really hurt but it has worked for me.

3) Start taking a probiotic or eat yogurt with live cultures. You need more good bacteria.

Hey Julie, Sorry to hear you are suffering with that. I know that it really sucks. And certain food and drink can really burn when you have that going on! 
I agree, Nystatin works wonders on getting rid of it. 
For prevention, I think Biotene mouthwash or Prevention mouthwash are the best .. Since I started using those, along with taking acidophilus every day, I haven't had any more issues (knock on wood!)
 
I also make sure I wash my mouth out with one of those mouth washes when I'm through nebbing, esp when I'm on Tobi. Good luck!
