On clotrimazole for 9 days and still have sore tongue. how long does this take to cure thrush?

Oral thrush: Sometimes it takes a few weeks to cure this problem. If you have good liver function , your doctor can call in diflucan (fluconazole). This comes in a tablet and is a little stronger and seems to work better. Good luck and feel better!

Depends: On cause? Immunosupression? Antibiotics? Diabetes? In general, 10 days of treatment, control of other factors or exposures( partner with candida- thrush) so you are not recycling!
