For Oral Thrush "This medicine is awful. Took 5ml, and it burned and made my cheeks swell and mouth burn. Told my Dr. He said just try out a little more, so I only used 0.5ml. My tongue hurts so bad. Feels like I've been chemically burned. Called the pharmacist. He said to stop taking it immediately. This stuff isn't good for me."

For Oral Thrush "I am pregnant and have had thrush for almost a month. Doc prescribed me Nystatin, and after a couple of days, a lot of pain went away. However, I still have fungus on the tongue, and it tastes awful. When will this Nystatin fully get rid of it?! Trying every natural remedy to avoid Diflucan, but it isn’t getting rid of it :/ :("

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'm at my wit's 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 it does not even seem to be working."
