Hello dear,

Thank your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, it is looking like thrush.

It is not advised at all to take prednisolone shot for fungal infection. Though initially it dumb down but after action is very serious.

Steroid can bring down the infection but infection can be increased thereafter.

I advice you should first investigate your self for diabetes and HIV. As this are the common cause of candida infection.

You can take he fluconazole tablet under your doctors guidance. Please take the drug under your doctors guidance.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
