Suggest Treatment For Oral Thrush Caused By A Tooth Extraction

Hello! I had a tooth extracted 6 days ago and it's been slow to heal,due to an almost non exsistent immune system.
two days after the tooth was pulled, I noticed the thrush and vaginal yeast infection. Am I okay to use nystatin mouth wash now or could it cause the new forming tissue on the extration complications? and do I spit it out or swallow it? I'm also on diflucan.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain as it is already 6 days of extraction now you can gargle with Nystatin mouthwash but with precaution to now spit with lot of force..
You can also suck on clotrimazole lozenges..
Take ample of Probiotics like Yoghurt and Garlic..
Avoid antimicrobial mouthwash..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The slough over the socket can be a soft tissue formed following extraction that appears white or brownish. Nothing to be panic do saline gargling. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. In the oral cavity it is not a thrush.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
