What Else Besides Daktarin Can Be Used To Cure Redness Caused By Thrush Infection In Mouth?

I have a red area around the side of my mouth and I have been to the doctor down the road. He said I have a thrush infection. I have constantly used the prescribed cream yet the red area remains. It stings alot and I am very conscious of it; it s embarrassing... The cream I have is called Daktarin , it cleared the area for a short while (a couple of days), I kept using it but the inflammated circle came back! Hope you can provide a cure! :-)

Hello,
Actually this red area can be because of fungal infection or because of habit of smoking or areca nut chewing.
-If you have a habit of smoking or areca nut or tobacco you have to drop it and consult your dentist for the medications.
-If you are having a fungal infection also then also you have to consult a good dentist , as he will prescribe you both topical anti-fungal and oral anti-fungal with some multivitamins
These can help you to improve your condition.
