<...The
other thing is that both the doctor and pharmacist said to rinse my
mouth out well (with water, I presume, wouldn't mouthwash be defeating
the purpose) after taking Fluticasone to avoid thrush. Does anyone have
any other ideas to help prevent what looks, at this point, inevitable
with antibiotic and steroid treatments? ....>
Joanne,
you don't say whether you've had nipple/breast thrush while breastfeeding.
If not, I would just rinse mouth as directed and take acidophilus caps. And
watch out for nipples getting tender / shooting breast pain. If you have had
thrush while feeding, I would suggest taking oral nystatin while you're
taking the antibiotics (2 caps 3x/day) as well.
