A member asked:
Why do i get thrush after antibiotics and being sick. its almost 100%. does this mean immune system issue? i always require nystatin for 14 days?

These medicines may kill some of the normal bacteria present in your mouth. Candida is unaffected by the antibiotics, allowing the fungus to multiply freely. That is why people on antibiotics have an increased risk of thrush.
