I was diagnosed with Oral Thrush after taking Prednisone, inhaled oral steroids, birth control pills, and a z-pack. I completed 10 days of Diflucan with a starting dosage of 200 mg followed by 9 days of 100 mg. Despite adding 5 10 mg troche lozenges of Mycelex daily five days ago, my symptoms have not improved. I am avoiding alcohol, sugar, yeast, and caffeine, and I am HIV negative, a non-smoker, and exercise regularly. I drink at least 4 liters of water per day and sleep 6.5 hours per night. Should I continue the Mycelex? How long before I see the symptoms abate? I'm worried because the medication does not appear to be working. I've taken acidophilus supplements daily and brush 3x daily as well. Please advise.
