Question 1

can i take tablets for thrush right after i am on antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The antibiotics may have been the reason for the thrush. And, it is safe to take the anti fungal medication.

Question 2

is there a good way for me to take care of thrush while on antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: They will be able to assess whether you have thrush or not and give you a prescription for Nystatin or diflucan (fluconazole).  If you cannot do that, try using warm saltwater rinses 3 times a day for every day you are on the medication and a week after.

  Gentian violet has also be recommended as a home treatment for oral thrush but it is poisonous so do not use.

Question 3

please tell me what antibiotics can i take to get rid of thrush?

Accepted Answer

Thrush: Thrush (oral candidiasis) is a fungal infection and not a bacterial infection. Hence, it is not treated with antibiotics. Physicians usually prescribe Nystatin (antifungal) for treatment of thrush - please see your physician for further evaluation and management.

Question 4

is it alright to take antibiotics for mastitis if my baby has thrush?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Mastitis needs treatment. Your pain needs to be addressed. Seek care for your baby with your pediatrician, but don't forget to care for own medical care.

Question 5

should i take oral thrush medication while taking antibiotics for the flu?

Accepted Answer

Not needed: The anti- influenza medications will not increase the risk of candida overgrowth.

Question 6

i have thrush from antibiotics. i use a urinary sheath. any advice on reducing the burning. have taken fluconzole pill and use cream, but i'm in agony?

Accepted Answer

Azole resistant?: Most yeast infections (thrush) are caused by Candida albicans, but 10-15% are due to C glabrata, which is often resistant to fluconazole and other "azole" drugs. See your doctor to confirm the yeast diagnosis and advice about alternative treatments, such as nystatin, caspofungin, or flucytosine. Good luck.

Question 7

i just took a dose of migranal forgetting that i was on clotrimazole for thrush that i got after an antibiotic for pneumonia. had pneumonia 3 weeks ago. the antibiotic they gave me is not one i had taken before and could not take migranal with it. then, i

Accepted Answer

It : It is generally not recommended that Clotrimazole and Migranal (dihydroergotamine) be taken together.  The combination can cause higher levels of Migranal (dihydroergotamine) in the blood and a few cases of toxicity have been reported.  Luckily, no problems have been reported with the Clotrimazole lozenges though a theoretical risk exists.  Symptoms of toxicity include numbness, tingling, abdominal pain, chest pain, muscle cramps and rapid pulse.  If you are feeling any of these call your doctor or go to the emergency room.  Good luck!

Question 8

what could the consequences be of you take prednisone when you have a fungal infection (oral thrush) when having a reaction to amoxicillin? what alternative treatment would be suitable other than antibiotics or nystatin?..

Accepted Answer

Thrush : Prednisone is not used to treat oral thrush. The treatment for oral thrush is antibiotics.

Question 9

what's the best way to treat viginal candidiasis...its been re occuring for past 5 to 6 months since last year and have been taking viginal insert pills and antibiotics.the likes of klovinal,mycotin,cyprotab 500.
what are the precautions to take too?

Accepted Answer

: You need more expert professional care. Ciprofloxacin (Cyprotab) is exactly the wrong thing for yeast -- it will make it worse. The other two are "azole" drugs, and 10-15% of candida yeasts are resistant to all azoles. Find an infectious diseases expert: confirm diagnosis of vaginal candida; if confirmed, determine susceptibility to azoles; if resistant, alternate treatments are available. Good lk

Question 10

how soon after taking an antibiotic can oral thrush develop?

Accepted Answer

Within a few days: Oral thrush or candidiasis can develop within a few days but the incidence is very rare in healthy patients. 
Patients who are suffering of debilitating systemic diseases particularly involving immune deficiency and who are wearing dentures are significantly more likely to be affected.
