I certainly started feeling much better and had more energy when I discontinued the prescription painkillers as well. The extra water and calories have to be helping as well. The Duflucan is a two-edgeed sword as it can deifnitely increase nausea but if your loved one has thrush, they will rpobably need to take soemthing to get rid of it. I would only take it if your ENT confirms that they see thrush there, though.
