Question 1

i have a yeast infection and my boyfriend and i have been performing oral sex on each for a while now. would that give us throat cancer or harm us?

Accepted Answer

No: Yes or genital candida will not cause cancer.  If there is an active hpv infection then this can lead to squamous ca of the oral cavity.  If the male is circumsized, hpv infections will not be transmitted sexually.  When a pap smear is performed the hpv status is reported.

Question 2

i am taking dulera, (formoterol and mometasone) if i get a yeast infection in my mouth or throat, can it be cured?

Accepted Answer

Very much so: Unfortunately inhaled steroids can lead to local immune dysfunction, particularly predisposing persons to thrush(oral yeast infections), that's why you have to be good about rinsing out your mouth of use of Dulera (formoterol and mometasone).  But associated yeast infections can be treated with various troches(clotrimazole), liquids(nystatin) and oral antifungals(fluconazole) if necessary.

Question 3

can you get a yeast infection in your throat?

Accepted Answer

Yeast: A yeast infection or thrush can happen in the throat is you are taking inhaled steroids, if your immune system is suppressed, if you have diabetes, it looks like white patches on the tongue and can go down the throat.

Question 4

i am a 37 year old female who is suffering from a throat (oral) yeast infection. ?s: how long do symptoms last and how can i never get this again?

Accepted Answer

Thrush: Thrush is never normal and requires a cause, like taking antibiotics, taking oral steroids, using a steroid inhaler or topical spray, or underlying disease like immunodeficiency. Make sure you know the cause and avoid, minimize, or treat it. In meantime you need anti fungal medication to prevent progression of the candidal infection to 'esophagitis' for example. At minimum nystatin or Diflucan (fluconazole).

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Throat infections: Don't be scared, but i would still recommend seeing your primary doctor or an ent.  They should be able to figure out what is going on.  Feel better!

Question 6

Throat pain: Your description is suggestive of acute inflammation due to infection or trauma. If you still have your tonsils, this may be a tonsil stone which would be on one side with significant sharp pain without fever congestion or other symptoms consistent with infection. If you look at your throat in mirror you may see a white spot on side of pain which would be the stone, you can gargle or squeeze out.
