I have suffered with thrush ever since I was young. Normally the canesten cream works for me, I’ve been using it the past 4 days, putting in on twice a day. The itching has eased off a bit but I’m still itching and it is still burning down there. How long does it normally take for it to clear up? Normally the canesten cream would be working by now but I don’t know, I haven’t had thrush in about a year maybe that’s why it’s just hitting me extra hard but I don’t know. 

Let me know thanks!!!

    Canestan cream won’t kill the thrush inside your vagina. Do you use canestan pessaries too? Neither would work for me. Only an oral fluconazole tablet (150mg) and another 3 days later works.

    Fugacil cream can eliminate the fungus and yeast that causes itching and burning sensations in your private parts. I had recurrent thrush for over 2 years. I had tried a lot of remedies without results until I found fugacil. It reduced my redness, itchiness, burning and irritation, and even prevent recurrence of infection. It's been several months since the treatment and I have never had thrush again. Remember to keep your area dry and wear loose fitting clothes as much as possible every day until the infection is healed. And, eat more garlic, fruits, vegetables, and yogurt to keep thrush from coming back.
