For Oral Thrush "I developed oral thrush for the first time after taking Macrobid (generic for UTI). The antibiotic made me outrageously ill from all of the extreme side effects I experienced. I was able to get nystatin over the phone. However, I immediately had a severe reaction of chest tightness and a rapid and abnormal heart rate. Luckily, about 24 hours later, it seems to have subsided, but now I’ve been trying everything I can OTC. Nothing is giving me relief. The feeling in my throat is horrible, and sometimes it’s unbearable and impossible to swallow. I’m definitely dehydrated as I cannot even force myself to sip, let alone drink water. Doctors have been less than helpful as they don’t want to see patients due to social distancing guidelines from COVID. I’m hoping the use of baking soda and saline mouthwashes, as well as acidophilus probiotic pills, will start being effective, as I can’t take much more of all of these issues. (Within 15 mins, the nystatin reaction set in)"

For Oral Thrush "Taking Nystatin for thrush that was caused by Protonix. Sadly, this is giving me chest pain and causing my heart to race for 1.5-2 hours after taking it and only intensifies every time I take it. The pharmacist recommended that I stop taking it and call my doctor. I hope something else can clear the oral thrush."

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."
