    Hello Jessica

    What dose of Fluconazole did your doctor give you?

    When I had a problem with thrush because I am taking steroids long term, I have had to take Fluconazole and the usual dose didn't get on top of it. I found that I had to take it for about 4 weeks in order to clear it. My Consultant prescribes me 4 weeks at a time. I haven't had a problem for a long time now. Suggest with your doctor, that perhaps you could try taking it for longer than your current dose.

    Good luck
