Lost my response so writing again. Dr has me swishing and swallowing 5mg nystatin 4 times a day and then gargling with 1/2 strength listerine 4 times a day. It seemed like it was going away and then next morning there it was again. Very frustrating!

I use daily BREO and an as needed albuterol inhaler for exercise induced asthma. I am immunosuppressed due to liver and kidney transplant 14 years ago. I have had thrush after a hiking vacation in higher elevation and mountains in western US, and felt throat pain during a long flight home. I thought it was dry air irritation, but soon went to ER with intense pain. Was prescribed Nystatin for 10 days and it didn't return.
I hope you get relief.
