A member asked:
Oral thrush and antibiotics? how rare or how common is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All too common: Candida albicans is a yeast that causes thrush. It is an opportunist organism that flourishes when the normal bacterial bowel landscape is killed by antibiotics. You need a course of Nystatin to kill the yeast and a well rounded probiotic to revitalize the bowel.
