Suggest Remedy For Oral Thrush With White Patches On The Throat And Palate Region
I have thrush. I am wondering if I could have gotten it from my husband wh has been diagnosed with a fungal infection on his penis. I wear dentures, and I have red and white patches on my throat, the roof of my mouth and the sides. It hurts to swallow. I have been on Nystatin for three days.
Your symptoms appears to be probably due to Oral and throat thrush.. It is possibly due to wearing of Denture as the Denture wearers are see to get thrush more frequently.. But for a confirmation you should get a culture from the scrapings of the patches done and then a proper treatment plan can be given.. If thrush is confirmed then first of all the Denture should be disinfected followed by reduce the frequency of denture wearing atleast till the infection is resolved.. You can be advised Nystatn mouthwash, sucking antifungal lozenges like Clotrimazole and oral medications like Fluconazole. Taking plenty of probiotics like Yogurt and Garlic helps in clearing infection faster.. Another important point is that your husband should also be treated along with you..
Hope this helps..
Regards.
