Having a miserable time with oral thrush

Have treated with daktarin for over a week and nearly completed a week with nystatin. Not feeling any difference.

Took a fluconazole tablet yesterday.

Anything else I can try?

Any underlying conditions? Are you Diabetic?

Get a new toothbrush, you may be reinfecting yourself!

Is your mouth dry? The nurse told me that can make it much worse.

Have you actually seen a doctor/nurse?

Antibiotics gave me the worst thrush I've ever had. I had a pessary + cream then an oral capsule. A week later, still bad so spoke to the GP who agreed another pessary was appropriate. Developed oral thrush so saw the nurse at my GP surgery and she prescribed 14 days of fluconazole which started to make a difference within 2-3 days (now day 10).
