Brief Answer:
Rule out immunosuppressive conditions
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting us with your health question
Since candidiasis is a persistent problem, it is important to rule out conditions that suppress your immune system like diabetes, chroniv=c infections, steroid therapy, etc. A detailed physical and blood evaluation is required at this point.
Also, treatment with oral fluconazole is indicated in recurrent candida infections.
So please be advised to follow up with a physician for a detailed evaluation.
