A member asked:

Taking terbinafine for toenail fungus.ive noticed my throat feeling better, is it clearing up a fungus or infection in my throat too? had them before.

Dr. John Chiu answered

Not aware: I don't know why your throat improves with this drug . Even assuming that you have a yeast infection at your throat, the drug you take for your nails is not expected to work on yeast infection.
