Suggest Treatment For Fungal Infection In The Mouth

I am taking medicine, fluconazole, for fungus infection in my mouth and on my vocal cords. I have vocal cord cancer and at my last visit to dr. I showed fungus. I have another appointment on the 14th and have started a severe rash on arms hands and lower extremities. Called a pharmacist tonight and am taking liquid benadryl. He said it would not counteract the medicine. I can call my doctor tomorrow but need to know that the benadryl is ok to take tonight. I cannot have fungus at next exam because it interferes with cancer diagnosis

Thanks for contacting HCM. You are concerned about taking Benadryl while on antifungal therapy fro thrush. The Benadryl will not interfere with the diflucan so you can take it without worries.
