Antibiotics for Thrush
Got my swab results today, and apparently I DO have thrush. But my doctor is giving me antibiotics, and apparently, said that although it will clear my thrush, it could possibly give me another bout of thrush, so he has given me a pessary and canistan cream.
But I'm confused. If my antibiotics are for thrush, how then can it cause it?

This is due to our natural defences working in conjuntion with them. You will need to use something like canesten cream to help the burning itching feeling. You can alos take painkillers with the antiboitics to help the pain. hope this helps and you feel better real soon
I used to get thrush all the time and what worked for me was taking Acidophilus tablets (Holland and Barratt) I haven't had a bout since. Actimel could also help but can be expensive. A lot of people recommend eating live yogurt every day while you are on anti-biotics to prevent thrush.
I also found cutting down on sugar and yeasty products helped too.
Hope you feel better soon
