@silvergirl36, I have just now seen your question about Thrush treatment and want to say that had 2 cases of oral thrush since transplant and was prescribed the medication, Nystatin Swish and Swallow.

Interesting for me is that I went to the ER when I began to feel like I was swallowing broken glass while deciding to call doctor in a few days. But as can happen, that was not the best choice! Why do these things always get worse after hours when the doctors offices is closed? This occurred after a hiking trip and airplane flight and began as a dry scratchy throat that I credited to dry mountain air, exertion and breathing on uphill trails, and the dry airplane air. I later learned that those 3 things, plus the need for extra use of my albuterol inhaler for exercise induced asthma, had set me up for a 'perfect storm' kind of scenario for thrush. I had never had it before. The ER gave me a 5 day prescription and tole me to see my PCP at the end of 5 days. My PCP added another 5 days so I used it for 10 days.
One time after that, when I began to feel like something was going on, I contacted my PCP and we caught it early. The Nystatin again worked for me.

Silvergirl36, I read that you are a caregiver. Is this the kind of information that you were looking for?
