So I have been pretty crook lately – was on a course of prednisone and antibiotics a two months ago.
I noticed a white coating on my tongue and burning sensation, went to the doctor who said it was thrush probably caused by the antibiotics – she sent me of to the chemist and i picked up some DAKTARIN oral gel 40gs.
My problem is, I use this stuff the prescribed half a teaspoon 4 times a day –
YET – the next morning I have the white tongue coating again!
Am i doing somthing wrong?
For some reason people always fire off the "Late stage AIDS, "comment – I have had a full blood work including sti’s (hiv) and Antibody screening – I have negative results.
so are there any other reasons why this thing is so persistant?
The particular strain of yeast you have could be resistant to the miconazole (Daktarin). Some yeast can be resistant, it’s not abnormal, more and more resistance emerges all the time. It is nothing you did. You were doing a great job!
You will need to go back to doctor (or maybe even just call him) and tell him the Daktarin does not work. There are other options for you. You could try nystatin. It is a sweet tasting oral suspension. In all my years as a microbiologist, I have never seen nystatin NOT work. It could happen, but it’s very rare. Any more ?’s feel free to email me. Take care.
