Hi , on a routine dental check up my doctor suggested that I might have Candida on my Tongue . My tongue looked normal to me , I didn't notice any unusual "white stuff" on it but the test was done afterwards at my GP and results came back positive for candida . My doctor prescribed Daktarin . I was using it for one week - and instead to get cured my tongue is now obviously infected by candida and covered in white . It looks much worse since I used Daktarin for one week . It looked normal before . I did not use antibiotics , I'm not hiv positive , I'm not taking any other medications or known conditions . I do work hard and I'm under lot of stress all the time . Also I'm vegeterian and forgot to mention , I had Lymphoma Cancer and Chemotherapy but that was a long time ago ( 7 years ago ) Any idea why Daktarin is not working after one week of usage ? ( I don't eat sugar / Yeast ) Thank you Sir !

The Large Amalgam filling 30 years old should be ruled out as the cause. If you overdo oral mouthwashes and rinses then the balance of essential normal bacterial flora in the oral cavity is disturbed leading to super imposition of certain strain of harmful bacteria which in normal conditions lie dormant resulting in lower local resistance of the body and that may be one of the reasons for Candida to take over. Good brushing and using hexidine mouth wash only at night shall help. Avoid overindulg ...
