Are you on antibiotics? Can lead to thrush and nasty taste in mouth.

daisyandbabybootoo · 21/09/2007 13:02

some of your symptoms sound like diabetes. you can have a test done at any Lloyds pharmacy.

I woukd see your gp though as soon as possible. doesn't sound very pleasant.

Hmmm I was about to say diabetes too, I'd get checked out.

If you keep getting thrush, does your partner also get treated?

Candida is another word for thrush, a fungal infection.

Sinusitis is an infection of the nasal passages and cavities in the head, it can affect ears, nose and throat. Cause severe headaches, pain and tenderness above and below the eyes, earache, jaw pain and make you feel generally unwell and sometimes positively poorly!

Treated with pain killers and antibiotics.

Hope that helps.

Darn it, must stop doing these typos!

Thrush in the absence of sex sounds like you have recently taken some strong antibiotics and did not supplement them with a vitamin B complex pill. If you are sure it is thrush, it is fairly easy to treat with over the counter medication (suppositories, cream, etc).

If your face doesn't hurt like it is going to fall down, you don't have sinusitis.

Feeling faint, head rushes, and pounding head might mean you should get your blood pressure checked.

Bad taste in mouth could just mean that you need to visit the dentist and have your teeth cleaned & cavities sorted.

Hope you feel better soon...

I had a sinus thing though which was jst about the bad taste and a bit of catarrh

no achy face

I have an ear thing now with catarrh that is making me feel faint and dizzy, doc said my ears had catarrh behind them and I didn't have any other symptoms at the time apart from pains in side of jaw

thrush could be antibiotics but could also be that you are run down, I get it when run down and stressed
