Question 1

ive had a dry mouth/tongue/throat for the last 4 days. i thought it was possibly caused by acid reflux, so i started myself on prilosec otc 2 days ago. im also on asmanex, so i thought possible thrush, but no white spots. what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Few things: Both acid reflux and asmanex can cause similar symptoms. Make sure you are rinsing your mouth well and spitting out after using it. Also some people may sleep with their mouth open if they have sleep apnea, that can cause dry mouth. Stay well hydrated with water. If symptoms progress to involve dry eyes also then will need further evaluation. Have a complete lab panel done to ensure they are good.

No,but true: esophageal candidiasis can be terribly painful.Thrush and acid reflux are relatively straight forward in diagnosis and treatment.Both should respond rapidly with an antifungal and an acid blocker.

Could be,: fungal esophagitis is possible, but uncommon in an immune -competent person, at any rate steroids in general have many effects on the stomach and esophagus, please visit your doctor, who might prescribe you a higher PPI dose, an anti-fungal if he/she suspects, or refers you to a gastroenterologist, you deserve evaluation anyways, good luck

what would cause a female in her 60's to repeatedly get thrush when she has not been sexually active in 10 yrs? have fibromyalgia, osteo arthritis, degenerative disc disease, acid reflux, ibs w/constipation, spastic colon - actually get spasms in various

Accepted Answer

The : The reason thrush occurs when there is a health crisis is due to the fact that the immune system is working hard to fight off whatever infection is going on; in addition antibiotics kill a lot of the good bacteria, which gives the yeast an optimal environment to flourish in.
Fortunately there are good treatments available.
Take care.

Question 7

can thrush cause choking?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Some people experience pain in the mouth with thrush. Some have no symptoms. It depends on how much thrush you have. Go see your doctor if you have thrush. It will not go away by itself.

Question 8

can oral sex cause thrush?

Accepted Answer

No: If an adult has oral or vaginal thrush, the doctor will look for the usual causes of thrush, regardless of whether or not she does oral sex. The candida that overgrows to cause thrush normally lives in people's mouths and vaginas, in small amounts. Having oral sex doesn't make the candida grow more.

Question 9

can drininking too much vodka cause thrush?

Accepted Answer

No: Thrush is caused by a yeast and is unrelated to vodka.

Question 10

can extremely high levels of stress cause thrush in adults?

Accepted Answer

Nope: Thrush is an infection caused by yeast, usually the type named Candida. Stress has absolutely nothing to do with it. See a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get treatment advice. Good luck.
