I have had oral thrush now for 5 weeks, I have already swished 3 bottles of nystatin and it does nt stay gone. the aluminin taste is horrible and cannot eat anything spicy. I had been on an antibiiotic and had 2 cortisone injections in shoulders and within 3 days the thrush showed up. The only meds I take ar elavil and ativan .
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, there are several treatment regimens for thrush.1. Nystatin as you are already using it2. Fluconazole once a day for 1-2 weeks is the last resort in medication environmentalist from this some self measure are very helpful1. Maintain proper oral hygiene2. Stop mouthwashes as they destroy microbial balance3. Quit smoking if you do. Visit the dental surgeon(oral medicine specialty) asap. Thanks
