A member asked:

I esophageal thrush i was taking medicine to treat it but i had to stop the medicine because i was allergic to it i seem to be getting worse why?

Yeast: "thrush" is a yeast infection of the throat and esophagus. This is usually treated with a topical "swish and swallow" agent.If you can't take this , there are other systemic (whole body) treatments. Your doctor should be able to direct your care. Good luck.
