Question : ref#HCM73272

I have previously corresponded with a doc re a probable fungal infection in my throat. If you can review previous messages, that would be helpful. If not, short question, are there foods that I should avoid if I have a fungal infection?

Thank you!

Gargling

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have viewed your previous posts.

There is no restriction for any sort of food to prevent fungal infections. Whenever you consume sweet or high carbohydrate food do gargle with salt water or antiseptic solution like Chlorhexidine. A plain water gargle is also fine.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
