A member asked:
I have a weakened immune system and oral thrush keeps coming back in my mouth and throat. how to treat this? doctor has treated it with flucazonole in the past but it keeps coming back?

Not all white tongue etc is yeast infection (thrush), so first the diagnosis must be confirmed. And up to 10-15% of yeasts are resistant to fluconazole and other "azole" drugs. Other drugs often are effective. As in the reply to your other message, an infectious diseases specialist is a good option to determine if this is the problem and which anti-fungal drug(s) likely would be effective.
