I had a bad case of bronchitis and was on antibiotics and steriod inhalers. I got a bad case of thrush all over my tongue, mouth, throat and it was on my vocal cords...the ENT gave me DIFULUCAN for 5 days and 14 days of the Nistatin. It cleared it up. ALSO a really good tip that my old ENT gave me as I had this once before from a steroid inhaler...HE TOLD me to mix 50/50 of the mouthwash CEPACO...

This medicine made my daughter's stomach hurt really bad and the taste and texture was horrible. She got it from dental work, or birth control pills. Taking other med with it and she had to stop and now it seems it is spreading even more. There has to be some kind of other solution to this horrible smelling, and tasting medicine. It may work for some but not for her! Gross!

I was giving prescriptions for cipro 500mg 3x a day and flagyl 500mg 2x a day for diverticlitis. I was allergic to the flagyl and had to stop taking it after taking three doses. I had a red rash all over my body. I devolped thrush after two days on the meds. I have been taking nystatin for 7 days with no results.The taste is terrible and it makes me feel dizzy and weak. Why do doctors continue to prescrib nystatin for thrush when there is something better to take.

Use Flucon tablets for 14 days and now Nystatin Oral Suspension for 6 days. I'm able to swallow, no pain, no spots on the roof of my mouth anymore, I didn't know you were supposed to not eat for 10-15 minutes after taking it-thanks reviewers. The taste is not bad at all, the consistency is like a half beaten egg and it's yellow like that, sort of grose, but it's been working. I hope this thrush in my mouth does not return. It's difficult to differentiate between the need to brush your tongue clean and the thrush. I'm throwing toothbrushes away every 3 days, it's crazy.Read More Read Less

I was given this by my doctor, and only tried it once. THE TASTE WAS SO HORRIBLE< I gagged on it, and ended up vomiting. It is the nastiest thing I have ever put in my mouth. Told my doctor, and he said keep trying, but no way can I do this. Hopefully when I see my doctor tommorrow he will give me something else YUCKY Stuff.

My 6 week old daughter was prescribed Nystatin due to thrush and after 2 days of using it she experienced painful abdominal pains she cried in pain after each feeding as I read reviews on this medication I realized that it is one of the side effects so I stopped the medication and will be speaking to her Dr.

I had a sore throat for a couple days. I had a Docs appointmend just to have my Med refilss (I am disabled do to my back) She looked at my throat and though I strep, but did a swab and came back and told me I had a Yeast infection. I asked her how a person gets a yeast infect in thier Mouth and she shaid yeast is all over in your body and more normal people my age do not get it unless they have a comprimized immune system like with HIV and Hepatites. So they took Blood and I will know in a do or 2 my test results, I have been tested a million times for HIV and TB and Hepititus do to differnt jobs, But the more I read about it, there are a TON of other reasons people get it. Stress, smokers, Some medicationsand other reasons. So If IhavetheBAD ONES, it will be new. Anyways, she gave my nystatin and I have noticed a BIG differnce in just 2 days Just getting a hoarse voice but I have read that that is common with Thrush. I take all kinds of Meds from Opiates(oxycodone, Fentynal patch, Morphine, and various others) and I smoke and have somen bad teeth (due to the Fentynal). One of my meds has a side effect of Dry Mouth (which is another cause of Thrush. Also Sugar can cause it. A lot of it, Its Halloween and I had been eatting a ton of Reeses P.B. cups. and I like to suck on them. anyways, Nystatin seems be working for me. not no more pain just a slight cough and hoarse voice.

I took it into the mouth for Candida, as prescribed by the doctor. It helped, but the problems, especially post nasal drip, returned after the bottle was empty. After repeating it many times, with the same results, I tried to put a drop into the nose (after all, post nasal drip originates in the nose). The result was immediate - harsh burning deep inside the nose and the drip was gone within a few days. Nose is clear and free, but still fluid is coming out when sneezing, I suspect from the cavities where the fungus must have resided. From using an undiluted drop I changed to mixing nystatin with seawater nasal spray to reduce the dosis and still reach deep. Just perfect.Read More Read Less

Very little difference. I am now on the generic for Diflucan. Strangely when I asked a pharmacist about Diflucan for this, he said it would not work. Well, it has worked better so far than the liquid nystatin. Read where a woman said she got the thrush from her usage of nicotine gum. I also have gotten this I believe from using the nicotine lozenge combined with a strong dose of Cipro. Get off those nicotine replacement things!

I developed a yeast infection of the throat to go with a bacterial infection of the ears that spread to my lymph glands. I had the yeast prior to taking the antibiotics for the bacterial infection. This medicine began giving me relief from the pain and misery after the first dose. After 3 days I have already improved greatly. The flavor is very easy to tolerate. I gargle with the solution for as long as I can keep it in my mouth, at least three times prior to swallowing. The medication also coats the back and lower end of my throat which wouldn't get treated if it was spit out. My doctor has me waiting 30 minutes after using the medication before eating or drinking to give it more time to work. I have had no side effects from the medication.Read More Read Less
