I'm on a permanent dose of Nystatin. Came back from Vegas with a mild case because forgot to take it. It does burn somewhat until it starts to clear up and then ok.
However, during and after I had radiation back in the dark ages, I had thrush so badly I was on both nystatin and diflucan for months. They finally had to put me on a steroid, dexamethasone, for several weeks before it cleared up. Of course, no one bothered to tell me I was not supposed to be eating or drinking anything with sugar or that could turn into sugar, ie. nothing white. There is a whole section on this someplace on this site. Read up on it. Take the Nystatin and watch the sugar and if that doesn't clear it, see the dr.
Hope your flight home wasn't too long. Great to meet you.
