Throat Culture Showed To Have Candida Glabarta. What To Take To Relieve Awful Taste In My Mouth?
Question: I had a throat culture done and it reads that I have Candida glabrata, and Routine respiratory flora. Can you please explain to me what I should be doing or taking to relieve this awful taste in my mouth?
Hi,
Thank you for the query.I find your query not picked by any relevant expert, I wish to take it up as it is posted under General Category. I have gone through the history and the reports
You have oropharyngeal candidiasis secondary to candida glabrata. It is the second most common cause of nosocomial candidiasis( hospital acquired infection)
If you were my patient here I would prescribe you application based antifungal drops ( azole group) along with oral antifungal like flucanozole. If not controlled then I would prefer Intravenous amphotericin in resistant cases.
Hope this will help you to talk to the local doctor and get the prescription. Please get back if you require additional information.
Regards

Would you please tell me the dossage and the length of time for the anti fungal drops and the oral anti fungal fluxonazole (diflucan)?
Hi,
Current research says to individualize dosages and duration of prescription drugs, else it can lead to unwanted adverse affects by these drugs. Hence I strongly suggest for a physical examination by the doctor to decide on the dosage. The pharmacist would not be able to dispense the drug from an online doctor.
