The new combivent inhaler is more complicated to use compared with the old MDI type. I assume you're not diabetic. If diflucan is not effective, it's worthwhile to try the swish and swallow technique with nystatin or try nystatin lozenges according to instructions. Discuss this with your physician.

Inhaled medication may coat the tongue and oropharynx. Rinse after use to decrease the risk of thrush. A review of your asthma medication use and asthma plan is available by virtual consult with Healthtap. Discuss thrush treatment options with your physician.
