Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I understand your concern.
For thrush penis, oral fluconazole is the preferred drug of choice. Weekly course is usually given for two weeks .
Alongwith topical antifungals like clotrimazole/Eberconazole is also advised. The cream should be applied at least twice daily over the affected area.
For itch and burning sensation, oral antihistaminics like levocetrizine helps.
You should visit your doctor so that the proper dose can be decided as per your symptoms and body weight. You would require prescription also to get the same.
it would have been better if you could attach photographs of the affected area.
