What is Thrush?
Thrush is a common condition that affect all ages, and both sexes. Overgrowth of a fungus called Candida causes thrush. It can cause irritation, soreness and unpleasant symptoms. Thrush can can affect your mouth, genitals and other parts of your body in both men and women. There are different types of thrush depending on what body part is affected.
Oral Thrush
Thrush can affect the mouth, tongue and the back of the throat, which is known as oral thrush. Oral thrush is marked by the presence of white patches and which can cause pain and discomfort. Oral thrush mainly affects babies, where it is usually passed between mother and baby. This can make feeding difficult for the baby, and for the mother nipple thrush can cause pain and discomfort. Older people who wear dentures can also get thrush, as well as those who suffer from certain medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, or who take steroid medication.

How is oral thrush diagnosed?
Oral thrush can be diagnosed visually by your healthcare provider. If the thrush is more widespread, a sample can be taken and tested in the laboratory. If thrush is also present in the oesophagus, an endoscopy can be carried out.
How to prevent oral thrush
Good oral hygiene including brushing your teeth twice a day and taking care of dentures can help prevent thrush. Having regular health checks for diabetes, and rinsing your mouth out after taking medication can also help. Sterilising bottles and dummies can prevent thrush in babies.
Treatment for Oral Thrush
Antifungal medication can be used to treat oral thrush. Mild to moderate infections can be treated with Nystan (nystatin) oral suspension 30ml, (prescription only) or Daktarin oral gel (miconazole) 15g, which can be purchased from Click2Pharmacy. More severe and widespread infections may require an oral antifungal capsule called fluconazole 150mg. If you think you have oral thrush, our pharmacists at Click2Pharmacy can offer free advice and assistance.

These can include:
- Itching, redness and soreness around the genital area
- A discharge which can be thick and white, or thin and watery

In some instances, you may need to see your GP or health care provider if you have thrush. Seek medical advice if:
- If you think you have thrush for the first time
- You are under 16 or over the age of 60 years.

In some cases, a swab may need to be taken from your vagina.
Treatment for Vaginal Thrush
There are various types of antifungal medication for vaginal thrush treatment in the form of creams, pessaries and oral tablets. Once treatment is started, symptoms should clear up in 7 to 14 days.
Creams are usually used externally to treat itching and soreness around the vagina. Pessaries are inserted inside the vagina using an applicator, and directly target the candida. Oral tablets are usually a single dose oral capsule that works by killing the fungus.These treatments can also be given in combinations, and are highly effective in treating vaginal thrush.
If you have had thrush before, our pharmacists can help you decide which products are best for you and offer advice on preventing further infections.

After refusal of doctors appointment same old same old ring back etc.
I was invited at 5.25 to see doctor I drove over immediately.
Everything fully explained and checked over I was leaving by 6pm with penicillin for strep throat. Had I followed my doctors receptionist I would probably have suffered longer and increased the chances of a worse infection.I
Great efficient service.
