A member asked:

Difflam for radiation induced mucositis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Actually not: Diflucan is to prevent a super infection with candida but oral mucositis is treated with mixtures of topical anesthetic, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) and steroid, which might predispose to candida.
