Did anyone else develop thrush from all of the antibiotics given in the hospital? It had made my life hell. Im dehydrayed bc im not drinking enough bc this thrush grosses me out. Miserable.

I am still pre-op but I have a terrible time with thrush any time I take antibiotics. I have seen a number of people talking about getting thrush after surgery. I actually have a prescription for lozenges that resolves the issue ("Clotrimazole 10mg Troche," 1 tablet 4 times daily). It looks like a Tums chewable, and you just let it melt onto your tongue. Doesn't taste great but after 3 days things will be improved. Also, if you are able to drink acidophilus milk, that can help. I have surgery Monday, so I plan to ask for a new prescription for the lozenges because of my experiences with thrush. Good luck to you!

Im on a mouth wash and an another antibiotic I crush and put in my applause. No progress yet in 3 days. Yuckkkkk im interested in the one you mentioned. I will ask my doc. Thanks for the reply. Gooooood luck w everything!
