Is there anyone out there that would know a GOOD treatment for thrush? I
have been treated for it since I came off the respirator and it just
gets worse. On Monday I was given Mycostatin and it seemed to
work...unti I woke up on Wednesday and my mouth was filled again. The
doctor then doubled the dose, but I woke this morning with it back down
my throat again. I am getting extremely frustrated as I have not been
able to eat and it is really affecting my ability to drink. I know that
I have become dehydrated...I see one of my doctor early this
afternoon...my head swoons when I stand.
I would love to find an answer. We have tried searching the
internet...have even resorted to taking garlic pills (the kind that
don't make you have bad breath)because it said that would help. When my
doctor learned I was taking the pills, from my home health nurse, he
said absolutely not. I don't think they were helping anyway, but
anything is worth a try. I have tried a hydrogen
peroxide/water swish which is supposed to work, but it didn't work
either.
I don't know how I can build up any strength if I am getting no
nutrition. HELP!
