hi all
once again i have oral thrush,i have gone through bottles of nystatin with each episode and still it returns,i bought over the counter some daktarin gel which has not helped at all.this thrush apart from my mouth is in my throat also my oesophegus and its so painful.night time i am going through loads of water just to get some relief and eventually i have to get up,which is why i am posting this at 02.38.hopefully one of you lovely folk will know of an answer,yours in anticipation love shirl xxx

Morning Shirl, hope you got to sleep again.
Brian suffered regular attacks of Thrush for months after his treatment finished & Nystatin was having little effect. I young Registrar recommended he was prescribed Fluconazole 50 mgms once daily, which worked a treat. He's had 5mths free of thrush now & Im hoping thats the end of it. But Ive kept a pack of the drug in the house "just in case". Fran

Good Morning Shirl,
I agree with Fran on the question of Fluconazole, it worked a treat for me, see your Doctor and ask him for some .I hope it does the trick for you.
Keep Smiling
John

hi
thanks for your replies,i saw my oncologist today and he said its not thrush,he thinks my mouth throat etc is sore due to the lack of saliva,so i'll just have to carry on chewing gum and sipping water lol.have a nice day love shirl xxx

Hi
So I'm not the only one with the oral thrush problem. You really feel alone till you find this site!
Next time I go for my check up I'm going to ask for some of that Fluconazole. Mine fgot so bad - and I mean it was BAD - I had to have it lasered off - I really thought it wascancer but turned out is just thrush - but it was really thick and unmoveable and creating hard lumps. Not nice! But Fluconazole sounds a good option! Thanks!
