I was given 2 meds and the one I swish and swallow, Nystatin, made me have nausea so my chemo Dr. said to just take the other one and discontinue the nystatin. Well I did and it started to come back again so now I am using both even though it makes me sick. That stuff is hard to get rid of. I don't know if it has anything to do with the taste in my mouth but what I do taste is just taste like salt. And even jello doesn't taste anymore. Just a faint taste and the salty taste. Thanks again, Angel
