Thrush

My OB called me in diflucan and I took it yesterday, been gargling with sal****er, and perxide/water.  Nothing is helping, and I can't stand this pain!  My tongue is swelling, stings and hurts to eat.  Anyone got any home remedies I can try?  It's really hard to eat right now, it hurts

Yogurt, lots and lots of it. Make sure it has active cultures in it, though. Hope it gets better soon.

No remedies here.  I've never had it or known anyone in my family that has to ask.  Sorry.

I just stopped in to say that I hope you feel better soon.

I know that when my kids were babies they got Thrush, if you ask the pharmacy to sell you a bottle of Gentian Violet, it is cheap but messy, you have to dip a qtip in it and rub it all in your mouth and it will stain it purple but it works

It might be a little late but you can try mixing 1 tsp of liquid benedryl and 1 tsp of liquid antiacid such as maalox or mylanta and swi**** around your mouth really well then swallow it.  It helps a lot with any type of sore mouth.  It will cure any mouth ulcers in a day or two usually too.  If your tongue was swelling, I'd say something else is going on besides just thrush.  Both the yogurt and the gentin violet are good cures for thrush.  Were you taking antibiotics?  Any time you are on them always eat yogurt every day and you usually won't end up getting any yeast infections.  This is probably too late but good to know for the future.

Wow Thanks Sybul! I will keep that in mind if I get it again.  I finally had to call my ob/gyn, and he called me in some diflucan.  I took it, and now it's all gone!
