Thrush after 3 weeks of antibiotics

[ericraven2003]

Had walking pneumonia. After 3 weeks of antibiotics, I have thrush.
I am on my second round of Nystatin mouthwash. I am taking 2 different probiotics, as well as concentrated oregano. Having tough time getting in completely gone.

Any suggestions on other things I can take to get it completely gone??

thrush?

nystatin really doesn't do much for oral thrush. You probably need diflucan. a 14 day dose minimum

Fuck. My doctor wanted to try this first as diflucan is hard on the liver.

I second the didlucan. And for the guy who asked what thrush is....it's basically a yeast infection in your mouth

my doctor also recomended biotene. helps with dry mouth and replacing good bacteria. That is, not instead of, but on top of diflucan

Yeah, you need a good antifungal, really fluconazole should work and it's pretty safe on the liver.

I have had oral thrush multiple times...first time no clue what it was and it felt like swallowing glass...

Things that work ( will cause pain though... )

gargle with apple cider vinegar ( cut some with water or the pain will suck... )

gargle also with salt water

lastly get a high quality coconut oil and swish that through the mouth for a few minutes.

All of the above I use and can usually kill thrush within a few days of noticing symptoms, will take longer if you have had it for more then a few days

Thanks guys! Never had this before after anti biotics, so kind of freaked me out.

I forgot what company bought out company that owns biotene brand but they change the formula taking out the beneficial enzymes.


Try a good brand colloidal silver spray in mouth .Mesosilver is brand that's widely used.

Grapefruitseed extract and you need to take a large dose probiotic while taking antibiotics antifungal or GSE.

You can use Kefer for probitoics, Walmart has it for $2.99 in most stores.

You can rinse the mouth with 15-25 drops GSE in water. Multiple times a day.

Good luck
