can i treat vaginal thrush with just canesten cream

[BrokenBananaTantrum]

Or do I need a pessary or that diflucan stuff? I have the cream already and the other stuff is expensive.

Thanks

Apparently you can get asda's own for £5
depends how widespread your r=thrush is I suspect.

I think the cream is just to ease the symptoms, but you can probably find out online or ask NHS Direct?

Presumably you can get it on prescription, which brings the cost down, although I fully accept prescriptions are not cheap!

Thanks will pop Asda tomorrow.
Everytime I have antibiotics I get it. Grrr.

Thanks tribpot. Will try that if I can't get any at Asda.

Take a spoonful of natural yoghurt (orally!) when you take the antibiotics. It rebalances the flora and fauna so you dont get thrush.
Works a treat everytime.

meant to say take a spoonful daily not with the tablets.

Thanks for that tip will try that next time
