“thrush treatment”
Hi! I recently started my anti retroviral treatment 3 months ago after my results came back reactive with HIV. Oral candida/thrush started developing but have been treating it with tablets and suspension but it keeps growing instead of disappearing. Can it be treated ? If so how long?

Oral fluconazole at 100 mg once a day is considered the drug of choice to treat oropharyngeal candidiasis.
One to 2 weeks of therapy is recommended for oropharyngeal candidiasis; 2 to 3 weeks of therapy is recommended for esophageal disease.
Make sure you are following a healthy lifestyle, i.e., a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress reduction can all contribute to overall immune system health--particularly eliminate simple sugars, which feed yeast.
