A member asked:
Could the spray you use on athletes foot be used to cure another fungal infection such as thrush?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Thrush, by definition involved mucus membrane and topical preparations meant for use on skin should not be used on mucus membranes.

No: Since thrush occurs in the mouth you would not want to use a fungal spray.
