Question 3

how long can you use the mycelex (clotrimazole) troches for oral thrush?

Accepted Answer

Problem: Mycelex (clotrimazole) troches can be used repetatively.  The issue here is that oral thrush should not occur in a normal adult, and particularly when it may need continued treatment.  You need to have your immune status checked and be HIV tested.  Good luck.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Oral thrush: Yes, Mycelex (clotrimazole) troches are used for oral thrush.

Question 6

a monthl or so ago i took mycelex for possible oral thrush and since around that time my uvula touches my tounge ?

Accepted Answer

May still be Infxn: Is your uvula painful and red? If so, it is most likely a uvulitis (inflamed uvula). Since the uvula is suspended from the top of your mouth, any inflammation can cause it to hang down more than usual. Sometimes it can even touch the tongue. Have you been back to your medical provider, since being prescribed the Mycelex? Have the other symptoms in your mouth resolved? If not, I recommend going back to your medical provider for additional assessment, since you may have some other type of infection that needs to be treated. 
If your uvula is swollen and pale/translucent them you could have something that’s known as uvular hydrops.  Its considered translucent if you could easily shine a light through it (but please don’t try shining a light through your uvula). Uvular hydrops occurs when clear fluid collects in your uvula, most commonly a result of either a moderate to severe allergic reaction or something that’s called hereditary angioedema (very rare, typically caused by an enzyme deficiency and shows up when you are given certain medications, like an ACE Inhibitor, which is a blood pressure medication, and sometimes NSAIDs, like Motrin/Ibuprofen/Advil/Naproxen). If this is the first time this has ever happened, it is most likely not hereditary angioedema. Most times we are unable to determine the cause of uvular hydrops, termed Idiopathic Uvular Hydrops. Uvular hydrops is a self-limiting condition, meaning it will go away on its own and you don’t need any medications to treat it.  
Whichever one this may be, the most important thing to remember, is that a swollen uvula can block off your airway, making it difficult to breath. I don’t want to frighten you, but I just want you to be aware that in RARE cases, this can occur. If your uvula starts becoming more swollen, seek medical care immediately (ie. go to an Emergency Department). If you are having trouble swallowing solid foods, at the very least, stay hydrated with water, diluted Gatorade, etc; and you can also try supplement shakes for calories (drinks like Ensure or the equivalent). 
If you have no change within the next 3-5 days, I recommend seeing your medical provider for further assessment/treatment. If this worsens, I recommend going to an emergency department. 
Good luck and please don’t hesitate to contact us again with any further questions or concerns. 
Cheers,
Dr. Jen Smith

Question 7

is it safe to take diflucan and mycelex troche at the same time i came down with thrush and was put on mycelex 10 mg troche 5 times a day for 14 days now its 2 days latter and i have a yeast infected my dr called in diflucan 150 mg 1 every other day for 3

Accepted Answer

According : According to drugs.Com, there are no listed interaction between these two medications.  Both are anti-fungals, though one works topically (mycelex) while the other works internally (diflucan).  You should be ok taking both.  Good luck!

Question 8

i have oral thrush can i still eat normal my doctor said no diet restriction i miss juice,pizza fruit can i still eat that stuff i am on mycelex (clotrimazole)?

Accepted Answer

As tolerated: Soft food ideally. Always remember to eat a balanced diet, otherwise.

Question 9

i have a white coated tongue that can be scraped, sometimes clumpy white stuff is removed. mouth is dry at times. been treated with fluconazole, nystatin and mycelex with no resolution. this happened after covid. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

: How long ago was your covid infection? During your covid infection was your tongue reddened&amp; was white coating observed?  Is your tongue simply coated.or covered with patches of white matter which is more typical of a fungal infection?  Simple white coating is usually from bacteria &amp;mouth debris.  If your coated tongue doesn't clear up after a couple of weeks, consult an ENT or oral surgeon

Question 10

what can i do for a medicine allergy?

Accepted Answer

Stop taking it: If it is an extreme necessity, and there are no alternatives, and you don&#x27;t know whether this an allergic reaction or an adverse drug reaction (side effect), see an allergist/immunologist for evaluation and possible desensitization to the said drug for treatment of a particular disease episode, good luck
