I am on day 4 of a 5 day regimen of fluconazole 150mg fon candida albicans and still have cottage cheese like growth on back of my tongue, what's wrong?

Insufficient dose : And tiime. I have given 200 mg a day for 14 days, 100 mg a da for 14 days and 100 mg every other day for 14 doses, a total of 2 months. Candida albicans can be extrremely resistant. Remember also that yeast uses sugar to ferment alcohol so stay away from sugar that prohbably was responsible for you getting a serious yeast iinfection like that. The entire bowel needs treatkent with nystatin.

Try Mycelex (clotrimazole): If your oral candida continues ask your health care professional if you can try Mycelex (clotrimazole) troches for a 14 day period. This is typically successful.
