Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnavs Dattagupta answering your query.

Candidiasis has both topical and oral treatment. I guess in your case, only oral treatment is required so go for fluconazole 150 tablet once weekly for 4 weeks.
I guess antibiotics coverage should also be taken with this to cope up with secondary infection.

Hope this was helpful.
Contact me for any further queries.
Regards
