Adult Thrush. Will Eryythromycin work?

[tat2darling]

I am an asthmatic that uses a steriod inhaler called Albuterol. There are times that when I have had to use my inhaler more often that I have developed Thrush. I notice today that infact I have it again. Tale tale signs creamy patchy regions and pretty sore. Usually I call my doctor and he prescribes Nystatin however I also have a skin rash that was diangnosed as bacterial in nature and was prescribed Erythromycin. I have not started the treatment yet. Will the Erythromycin work for my thrush? I understand that thrush is fungal not bacterial still i'd like to know.

Thank you,

Schell

I used the albuterol for many years, and had the same problem.  I usually rinse my mouse right away to avoid problem.   Sometimes I use light vigenar(mixed with water) to rinse my mouse;
or I use bakin soda mixed with water and some hydrogen peroxide to rinse my mouse, and get rid of the wound.

If the fungus problem is so severe, I use the dull side of a butter knife to scratch the fungus out, and brush my tong hard to get rid of them.  And avoid consuming too much sweets.

Hope this help.

The erythromycin will not help you with your thrush.  The nystatin is a better bet.
