It is now four weeks and the thrush has not gone away. The swab came back that I have thrush but not the kind that is resistant to Fluconazole/Difucan. I have now been on this med for eight days 5 ml. The dosage is 40mg/ml. I take it through the tube. I see my doc tomorrow. I can't believe the thrush has not gone away. It is pretty dismal. -Michelle
