For Gastrointestinal Candidiasis "I am on liquid Nystatin every 8 hours. I started Friday night. By 5pm the next day ( SATURDAY)my temp had increased to 103.1. I also had intestinal pain, cold extremities, chills/shakey, intense body aches that hurt so bad that I can't pick things up with my hands. Was able to get it down with several doses of Tylenol over the night. Now Sunday woke up no fever felt drained but kinda ok.Then 11 am it started again all symptoms and fever rising. I took Tylenol and it is less help then yesterday. I only took half a nystatin dose today. I am drinking so much water, broth that I pee clear. Is all this normal or do I go to the ER????."

For Oral Thrush "I've never had oral thrush before, only just started on a steroid inhaler and wasn't told that I'm meant to rinse mouth out after I use it - else it can caused oral thrush. I'll never use that inhaler again as not worth all of this. Was prescribed nystan 30ml and the dentist told me to swirl it in my mouth for 5 mins at a time, 4 times daily. I can't keep it in my mouth for no way near that long as makes me heave, the feeling of it in mouth with all the stickyness makes me heave, the second dose was worse, especially when it says to swallow it slowly, never again. This medication just makes me heave too much and if I keep it in my mouth for longer I just know I'll spew up."

For Oral Thrush "I’ve been reading that nystatin’s efficacy declines after repeated uses. I’ve had thrush a few times over the past seven years probably due to a diet too high in carbs, being pre-diabetic, and having adrenal fatigue. Thrush worse this time on the roof of the mouth, and back of the palate; mostly red with some whitish patches. Came on fast, painful to eat, and even drink. Using liquid nystatin with prednisolone rinse together; swish around (3 minutes) or so and spit out. That helps some with the pain. I also spray (several times a day) colloidal silver on the back of the throat, (get a good nanoparticle brand); while rinsing once or twice with hydrogen peroxide (3%). Taking enzymes, probiotics, and antifungals in the meantime to push back on this Candida infection. I don’t think one medication works anymore, it’s better to use a multi-approach and clean out some sugar/carbs in the diet."

For Oral Thrush "It took 7 full days, 5ml, for my oral thrush infection to clear. The usual time is 2-3 days but since I'm immunocompromised, it took me longer to heal. I had only a stomach ache for 2 out of the 7 days while on this medication. No other symptoms!"

For Oral Thrush "I developed a fungus infection of the bottom lip. My doctor wanted to put me on a systemic pill, but I asked if there was anything topical I could try. He suggested Nystatin. I have been on it three days and my lips have not peeled. They were peeling every two days before. I just use Q tip and put it on my lip. I got it because I am immune compromised and my white count is at the lowest it has been in a long time, 1.7"

For Oral Thrush "I took it as a swish and spit for thrush. After a few days I developed dry mouth and a bit of burning after I took it. Some stomach cramps also occurred. None of these side- effects symptoms were too much and I finished a 2 week prescription"

For Oral Thrush "Terrible stuff, awful reaction overnight first day of using for oral thrush that came along with antibiotics taken as prescribed. Nothing is improved in fact my tongue, cheeks, ears are all affected and my lips have swollen up, my face is burning. No idea what to do as the doctor was not helpful. I know I will never use nystatin again ever, it's awful."

For Oral Thrush "Used this medication religiously as prescribed for seven days. Had to order another bottle as this fungus is persistent. My mouth feels like it's full of dry cotton every time I swish and gargle this seemingly useless medicine! It takes hours to get my mouth to feel moist again just in time to swish and gargle again!"

For Oral Thrush "First time with oral thrush due to use of antibiotic Xifaxan for IBS. Had Nistatan with Lidocaine prescribed from compounding pharmacy. Used half of dose to swish on one side of my mouth, then spit out. Same for other side. No swallowing thank goodness! This med was excellent for me. I wasn't perfect in using 4 X per day but used often enough to get rid of thrush after 6 days. I'd definitely use again."

For Oral Thrush "I used Nystatin and it did not alleviate the pain or whiteness, etc. Used Gentian Violet (applied with Qtip, old school remedy used for eons with success (until antibiotics came around, now in grotesque overuse as we are all learning). Also Lifetime Oregano oil with Olive leaf extract, (12 drops at first, in capsule, then stepped down after a few days), oil with organic coconut oil 20 minutes 2 times per day, (make sure to spit it into a paper towel/garbage - do NOT put down sink drain, will clog plumbing.) I avoided all sugar, and had sound nutrition, so eventually got rid of pain and whiteness. This regimen in some form, especially the gentian violet and oregano oil — it works. Do your reading and go to research and other reliable sites where findings support that antifungal overuse often creates more problems then solves, more holistic simple methods work as it has over the decades."

For Oral Thrush "Was told to take Nystatin Oral for some oral thrush I had on my tongue and throat. 4x a day for 10 days. I got to day 3 and had a lot of tightness and pain in my chest (debating on going to the ER), also couldn't sleep at all... Pharmacist told me to stop taking it. Waiting to see now what my Doctor has to say.."

For Oral Thrush "Im at my wits end having thrush. Need to know if anyone out there that has been prescribed nystatin has suffered severe body pain from it. Every time I have to use it my body aches so bad I cannot bear it and affects my breathing also.I have been taking it just the same for ten days and does not even seem to be working."

For Oral Thrush "It was prescribed to me because of oral thrush complication from the yeast infection caused by the macrobid that was prescribed to me. Had burning sensation in my mouth after days of using, getting my gums feel burned itchy mouth and eyes, feels like I'm gonna have a sore throat also had some palpitations. Phoned the pharmacy told them about my symptoms and was told to stop the medication. Went back to the doctor who prescribed the medication told me I should continue and try the medication again since she thinks it kinda improved the thrush. It did somehow but with all the side effects I was skeptical. I'm trying it again on the 2nd day of second attempt let's see what happens."

For Oral Thrush "Developed oral thrush while on H Pylori treatment. The huge amount of antibiotics kills off all bacteria and can make the normal yeast that lives in your mouth get out of control. Mouth was dry, sore, fissures opened up on my tongue whole mouth was painful and white spots started to form. On day 3 using nystatin I noticed fissures are healing and moisture is returning to my mouth. Only side effects are weird taste in mouth. Chemical banana flavor not the best. Nystatin 2.5 ml 3 times a day, after meals."

For Oral Thrush "I am so thankful for this medication, I had such a sore mouth and tongue and difficulty swallowing, blurred vision I took this medication on time and finished the whole round of treatment never came back. I had a mild headache and fatigue for a couple of days and then it just went away. Always take it as prescribed on time and finish it. Also your food may taste different during treatment but I feel like I got a new mouth throat after finishing this treatment. Wishing you a speeding recovery!"

For Oral Thrush "I would not take it again. I took it for 5 days for a sore tongue. I had a steady improvement but then my sore tongue came back. I took nystatin for 5 more days and had the same improvement again. However, the sore tongue came back so strongly that the pain was literally unbearable. I swore I would stop taking Nystatin. Since then fast improvement every day. It is now my fourth day now with no meds, and my tongue is back to NORMAL!"

For Oral Thrush "I had thrush due to antibiotics for swollen tonsils, which gave me thrush. I was healing then I took nyastatin which feels like your pouring acid down your throat if it's a bit red. Not sure why a dr would give you this especially when your throat is RAW . The roof of my mouth is now swollen and my tonsils burning. It makes you feel extremely wors . I am not taking it now I have mouth burns and swelling . Test this stuff first on your mouth with a q tip ... before you go putting it in a raw mouth ."

For Oral Thrush "Wow! I actually found these comments by searching to see if Nystatin causes a horrible taste in your mouth. I was diagnosed with Thrush a couple of months ago by my GP after noticing a white coating on my tongue, plus my tongue was burning and I had a terrible taste constantly. No change. Went for my yearly pap & showed my tongue to my gyno, who told me to throw the Nystatin away (I was on my refill at this time), and he prescribed Fluconazole 150 mg. Told me it was better, and it was only one pill. Made no difference. Got the refill on that, still no change. Back to GP...he told me to mix Cepacol and Hydrogen Peroxide and use as a mouthwash & to make an appt. with my dentist. Used that combo four to five times a day and the coating on my tongue went away, as well as the burning sensation...I thought I was cured. Went to dentist yesterday, he said I still have it on my gums and side of tongue. Made appt with ENT..what's up with this medicine??"

I took it x4 a day 5ml swished held in mouth swishing as long as possible and then swallowing, I don't know everyone is complaining. Just works on mouth and esophagus and stomach."

For Oral Thrush "After use of inhaled steroids and having dry mouth for 8 months, used NyStatin four times daily for 12 days. I was religious about keeping it in my mouth for 10 minutes on each side and then swallowed it. Occasionally I would scrape tongue. It worked like I hoped it would."

For Oral Thrush "I mix the oral nystatin with baby Benadryl 10 ml to let it have a better taste and avoid nausea. My throat is so sore that I had to go back on it. My immune system is low and I have a swollen lymph node under my arm. Benign diagnosis for cancer. 3 days later this thrush infection came, so indeed my immune system is not working well. Caution:Benadryl makes you rest, drowsy."

For Oral Thrush "Terrible experience with nystatin, during night first day of taking I couldn't breathe at all. Nothing has helped. Nothing is available to cure oral thrush that I have had for 6 months now . Causing great grief and unhappiness"

"Was told to do oral rinse with nystatin a few times a day for thrush. About 1-2 days in and I have really bad diarrhea... ended up pooping in my pants about 3 days into the treatment. Thank goodness I was home. Will be calling my doctor. Not good if you have chronic intestinal/ stomach problems. Also tastes so terrible I almost vomit every time I take it. So definitely not worth it. Doesn’t even look like it’s improving anyway."

For Oral Thrush "I ended up with thrush after being on antibiotics and my tongue had blisters, it felt like fiberglass on my tongue the pain was so bad. I was prescribed Nystatin 4 times a day, started taking it on a Monday, its now Friday the same week and my thrush is almost completely gone, blisters healed and no pain. However the banana flavor is one of the most foul things my tastebuds have ever tasted its disgusting. It has also made me very nauseous, I thought the nausea I had from Lexapro was bad, nothing compared to this. I've lost 10lbs from not eating because of how gross it makes me feel. Good for the thrush but lets just say I can't wait to stop taking this."
