Dr. Doctor
What do you think is the right treatment for oral thrush or candidaisis in mouth. Mine is located in my throat and i'm 2 years post liver transplant.  And is it common among immunusupress person to have this.

Thanks

this is common after transplantation.  mycelex troches should help in most cases but if not diflucan should be the treatment

I am glad you asked this question.  I am 9 yrs out from transplant and every time I have to go on an antibiotic (like for a UTI) I end up getting something else from the antibiotic.  Right now, following 10 days of antibiotics for a UTI (Cipro) I have very bad thrush and am now on my 3rd bottle of Nystatin swish and swallow and have seen NO improvement at all. I am going to ask my dr for the mycelex troches when I see him this week.  Good Luck to you.
