How Long Will It Take To Cure Fungal Infection On Tongue While Being On Medication?
Hi,
I am 32 years male. Around 1.5 months back i discovered my tongue has white creamy substance all across and its burns whenever i eat some spicy food. I contacted doctor, he told it's fingal infection and prescribed me Fluconzole 150 Tab alongwith folic tablet. Also adviced me to apply candid mouth wash. I took his medicines for around 25 days and my tongue condition got improved. But after that i felt the condition is not improving much. Another Doctor prescribed Canditral 200 mg * 2 tab per day. I am still having it. How long will it take to cure fungal infection? I had got myself tested for HIV and Diabetes both were negative.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I would like to suggest the "Povidone gargle" better this three to four times in day, and just take it easy the condition would be fine, becoming too conscious for this may leave the impression that problem is still there, take care and have a nice day.
