Thrush - sores in mouth, first time since treatment ended. Anyone had this?

Hi Spider3, thrush is an absolute nightmare to get rid, so don't despair if you need more than one course of treatment to get rid of it... I needed a couple of courses of fluconazole, and also nystan before I got it under control.. it is not an easy fix, just keep that in mind... be patient and you will get there.

Hi I needed 2 courses of flucozonole keep off  anything sugary and make sure you brush your teeth 30 mins after eating. 

The meds usually work oral thrush can be painful. Hugs

Thrush is common for most, can recur, usually responds well to treatment, another cross for us to bear unfortunately.

Hi Spider3. Sometimes thrush can take a while to get rid of so persevere with the treatment. I found that a mouthwash of bicarb and salt along with cleaning my teeth after every meal helped the process along.

Good luck

Hi I’m at the last stage of 35 rounds of radiation (9to go) and was told last week I have Thrush after reporting very sore tongue. I have tonsil cancer. The team put me on Nystan and it’s been great after only a few days. I use it after eating and cleaning my teeth. One ml held in mouth for at least a minute, then swallowed. Almost instant relief. I have to use it four times a day. I hope yours settles down soon

Glad you have got some relief for the thrush that is great. Mine took 3 months to resolve but I am fine now so perseverance was definitely the key. I clean my mouth religiously after every meal now as I don't want a recurrence.
