Hi Positive

Keep going with the yoghurt but make sure it is the kind that contains acidophilus bacteria as this will help to "normalise" things. I am not sure if this will be enough without a "...zole" medication but it may help stop recurrences of thrush in the future.

What side effects was your husband having? There are other ...zole type medications that can be substituted if need be and it will be the fastest way to get rid of it. Also, maybe the side effects weren't fluconazole - cisplatin and radiation effects can go on for weeks after they finish. My Alex only just stopped feeling nauseous in the last couple of weeks after finishing in August. He still feels just blah and continues to complain stomach upset every once in a while.

I have also read that zinc supplements help but have no experience or knowledge of why
