Oral treatment: Other medication options should be discussed with your PCP. This is a link: https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/candidiasis/thrush/index.html Please discuss the use of Fluconazole with your PCP. In addition, I would recommend follow up immune testing to determine the degree of your immune suppression.
