Question : Yes i have yeast in my mouth have had several rounds of nystantin and dyflucan now its in my jaws can i take injections of norocillin
Brief Answer:
See doctor, culture, predisposing factors checked
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
Norocillin injections could help, but I really do not think it is the right thing to do at this point in time.
Treatment success depends on a series of factors. In your case, kit is imperative to check if you took the appropriate doses for the appropriate time durations as indicated by your doctor. In case you did, and the clinical outcome was not satisfactory, it might be because the drugs are resistant to the yeast strain you got in your mouth. A culture of a sample and anti biotic testing might help. Other mouth pathologies can mimic yeast infection like what is called hairy cell leukoplakia. It is imperative for your doctor to be pretty sure it is a yeast infection.
Certain disease conditions do favor yeast infection, and correcting of better regulating them could be the main mile stones in the control of these infections. Diabetes , HIV and any chronic cancerous problem should be actively checked for.
The opinion and clinical review by your doctor is critical at this stage, since you have used many drugs already without success. There is also a major risk of drug resistance that can develop in due course if appropriate care is not taken. I think you need to see a doctor before taking any further drugs.
Kind regards,
Dr Bain
