What medication for vaginal, oral, and nipple thrush?
Patient's Query
I think I have vaginal thrush (itchy and cheese like discharge in my vaginal). What medication can I use to treat it? My 15 months old son has oral thrush (white patches in his mouth that leaves injury when I try to wipe it). What medication can I use for him? I would also need to treat nipple thrush because I'm still breastfeeding him.
Answered by Dr. Himali Patel
You and your son might have thrush, a fungus infection caused by Candida. Vaginal thrush could make you feel itchy and produce a discharge that looks like cheese. Typically, you’ll be advised to use antifungal creams or tablets. Treatment for oral thrush in your son can involve antifungal oral gel or drops. To avoid transmitting the infection back and forth, both of you might need treatment for nipple thrush. Make sure you take all the medicine prescribed for you to fully recover.
