Hello, doctor..i have recently quit smoking but i have started to note thrush on my tongue , and on the sides, as well. I have very i IgE levels, last tested were 1100 u/ml but i am very worried about the oral thrush.I did a course on 20 days, of Nizral tablets, as i am also suffering from Seb Derm.Currently i am on AF 150 ( Fluconazole ) weekly.
Dear Karen, hi. Oral thrush is a fungal infection of mucus membrane of mouth. It is mainly due to -poor health-diabetes -HIV.since your IGE levels seems to be raised which can occur in Immunodeficiency, please get the following tests done:-1.CBC2. Blood Sugar (Fasting and PP)3. Elisa Tet for HIV. Treatment you are taking is antifungal which will help in curing this fungal infection.thanks.
