    Hi Seth I think you should seek your GPs advice. If you have been on antibiotics in my experience they knock out bacteria, but not thrush as its a yeast. I found I had more problems with thrush while taking or just after antibiotic treatment. There is an oral thrush medication available but I do think you need to see your GP

      Well it is always best to check things out with your GP. At least then even if it is nothing to worry about your mind will be at ease. Worry can actually cause stress and that can make you worse or even cause some problems.

      Your welcome! I've been there myself, I think even doctors do, they make dreadful patients! My son is a consultant and when he had a minor op he was terrified!
