Suggest Remedy For Oral Thrush

I have been trying to get rid of oral thrush and an over growth of yeast in my system for months. I have had 3 courses of Nystatian, 3 courses of Fluconizole (100mg 1x a day for 14 days) and am now on my 3rd course of terbifine (1x day for 30 days).Also got wierd acne like "boils" on my face that took forever to go away (went to derm...got antibiotic cream, didn't do much) . I then had to have my second root canal w/in a year (first root canal failed, tooth was eventually pulled..which was upper molar) the root canal that I am currently having work done on abcessed and was cleaned out twice, on penicillian for that and developed thrush AGAIN.(thrush originally started about 6 months ago, use combivent inhalor) other than that I have been on zero antibiotics so do not know why this yeast thing has taken over. Anyway..reoccuring,sever thrush...two root canals and NOW for the first time in my life I developed a horrible case of strep throat (achey joints, fever, super tired etc...) so on penicillian and two doses later...Thrush!! Could this all be related to a jaw injury? TMJ? I am at a loss and so is my doctor and dentist...just seems like alot of stuff happening in the same area. Any ideas? Oh and I also take probiotics, coconut oil, apple cider vineger, vit. D, Multi vitaman...I have tried it ALL! I am a 43 yr old female, 5'3",128 lbs, in good health otherwise.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Oral thrush can be caused due to many underlying conditions including nutritional deficiency , diabetes,weak immune systems , few antibiotics and many others.

I would advice you to consult your General Physician and have a complete blood profile to rule out any systemic conditions like diabetes and anaemia.If any you can have it treated and the oral thrush will be reduced.

Start with multi vitamin on prescription and have a good nutrition .
Do stop smoking if you do.

Use the medicine prescribed for thrush , if not reduced go for biopsy of the lesion for further diagnosis.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
