Thanks everyone. Tom still has a couple days left on the nystatin and his mouth is looking somewhat better. We're keeping a close eye and will not hesitate to request the Diflucan if this persists. The thick tongue is a new all day thing. He may not be drinking enough water which could cause the edema to persist throughout the day. He has not been on antibiotics recently.
