Hi Eileen, Is a PT a primary doctor. We really don't have a good one. WE have a great MO and RO and I think I like this new ENT but a family doctor I need. Bob has been on nystatin for two months before the ENT gave him Diflucan which he is just finishing up two weeks. The thrush seems to be a little better as he is finally sleeping four or five hours before he has to wake up but I still can see it in his throat. I am calling for another prescription. He will also see his MO after six months in two weeks. At the present because of all the mucus he is mainly living on three 1000 calorie drins (seven cans of ensure with supplements) Thanks for the information I will see what I can do. Eileen
