Hello,

I can understand your concern. As the swab culture diagnosed presence of yeast, there cannot be any doubt that you are indeed suffering from fungal infection.

However, it seems that topical antifungal agent is not enough to cure the infection and you need systemic antifungal agents. You should start taking Fluconazole 100 mg (Fole) once a day for 10 days. It should clear up the infection.

I would also recommend you to refrain from smoking for faster healing of the infection and maintain good oral hygiene.

I hope this answer helps you well. Thank you for choosing HCM. Get well soon!

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
