Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read your medical history carefully and understood your concern.
The problems with burning sensation in your mouth could be related to:
- thrush (candida infection)
- GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux)
I'd suggest to do a mouth swab culture to exclude candida infection. If it is candida (thrush), can do mycogram to determine the right antimycotic. However, keep in mind that the improvement needs time to be settled.
Although
nystatin is good to treat thrush, however, the strains of candida you might be suffering are not sensitive to it, so must change antimycotic (to my experience
miconazole or
clotrimazole oral gel are more efficient to nystatin).
Next, if the
dentist excluded other bacterial infection, or other oral problems, then, I'd advise:
- to keep proper
oral hygiene (I usually recommend washing with water and little salt and soda bicarbonate. You can take 1 coffee-spoon of honey each day and keep it in the mouth as long as you can.)
- try to wash your mouth with water after eating
- do not lay down immediately after eating
- avoid taking too hot or too cold foods
All the best!
Feel free to ask me other questions you might have!
