Response from Dr. Reznik
 There are numerous reasons why one may develop thrush including but not limited to use of broad spectrum antibiotics, asthma inhalers, systemic corticosteroids (such as prednisone) and conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes and HIV. I would make sure that the diagnosis of thrush is accurate and then question your primary care provider as to possible causes of this condition. Take care, DR |
