Oral thrush appears as creamy white lesions, often with redness and soreness underneath. It may cause a cottony feeling in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, and altered taste. While usually harmless, it can be persistent or recurrent without proper treatment.
Fluconazole is an antifungal medicine that treats oral thrush by stopping the growth of Candida. A single dose is often effective, though some people may need a longer course depending on the severity of the infection or if it’s recurrent.
A prescriber will assess your symptoms and medical history to determine the appropriate dosage and duration. Treatment may also include hygiene advice to help prevent reinfection.
Fluconazole is usually taken as a once-daily capsule. Most people experience improvement within a few days, with full recovery typically within one week. It is important to complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms resolve sooner.
To support treatment, maintain good oral hygiene, use an antibacterial mouthwash if recommended, and avoid sugary foods that can encourage fungal growth. If you wear dentures or use inhalers, ensure they are cleaned thoroughly.
Ordering oral thrush treatment online is easy. Complete a short medical consultation, and a UK prescriber will review your request. If appropriate, your medication will be sent promptly and discreetly to your UK address.
