What is the frequency of anti fungal medications for Oral Thrush? - Dr. Jayaprakash Ittigi

In case of oral thrush or candidiasis the patient may complain of fungal diseases over the surface of the tongue or oral cavity. There are different types of candidiasis you can see in the oral cavity like oropharyngeal candidiasis, systemic candidiasis and mucosal candidiasis. These candidiasis are mainly because of poor oral hygiene conditions, if there is use of tobacco, alcoholism or irritation of the dentures inside the patient’s mouth. They can be treated with anti fungal agents like nystatin, amphotericin B, fluoconazole. Fluoconazole is one of the anti fungal agents which is very commonly used to treat the oral thrush or a candidiasis. In case of oropharyngeal candidiasis 15mg per kg or 15mg per day we can prescribe to the patients. Whereas in case of systemic candidiasis you can give 400mg once daily for 7 to 14 days. Depending on the patient’s age, sex, body weight we can definitely prescribe antifungal agents. To eradicate the fungus fro the oral cavity we have to prescribe the antifungal agents depending up on the age, sex, weight of the patient and condition of the oral candidiasis or oral thrush. Generally we prescribe 7 to 14 days once daily or twice daily by giving the anti fungal agents.

Candida in the mouth could be a warning sign to bigger future problem. Please do a medical check-up for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as your symptoms may be originating from a form of Hiatal Hernia and/or an H. pylori infection ( I had to do an endoscopy with biopsy to confirm this as it did not show in my blood or stool even though it was in my stomach). You would be surprised how problems with your gastrointestinal tract affect your overall well-being. Symptoms may include unexplained weight loss and difficulty gaining weight, iron deficiency, anemia, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, sudden severe cold, palpitations (high pulse), high blood pressure or even slightly low blood pressure.
