Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Trush is an oral form of a yeast infection. You need to use an antifungal medication. Over-the-counter antifungal's are available however you will be better off using a systemic antifungal after that much antibiotics. I recommend Diflucan. You should be able to obtain 100 mg strength from your physician. I would take two a day for three days. I would then keep some in reserve for the next time you're given antibiotics. Then you will probably only need 100 mg every three days while on antibiotics to prevent it from recurring. Basically once you have knocked off bacteria with an antibiotic the remaining yeast,which is always present,has a party and replicates at a rapid rate. I hope you're feeling better soon.
Wish you good health.
