Suggest Treatment For Candida Albicans Infection In Mouth And Discomfort Penis

Posted on Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Question: I was detected with Candida albicans in my mouth an first treated with amphomoronal b, since the candida returned I was now prescribed itraconazole 2x day for 3 weeks. I have been taking it now for 10 days. A couple of days ago I started to get a strong cold and I was prescribed azithromicine for 3 days. Today is the third day of the antibiotic and I continued also with the itraconazole but since this morning I find a small rush on my penis on the glans. To me it looks like a candida. I have no further symptoms. What should I do?
