Results Of Sputum Lab Works

7 Replies

Well received results of sputum sample submitted week ago.

Results confirmed oral yeast infection MAINLY oral thrush.

Guess that will teach me to take oral thrush more serious.

Steriods antibiotics did nothing to help ONLY thing that helped was NYSTAN fungi throat drops.

Its like revolving door of symptoms GUESS thats why so hard to cure get rid off.

And am no exception MY doctors still waiting to hear from ear nose throat doctor given chronic thrush throat inflammation resp distress suffered

Currently i had my NYSTAN and made my throat very juicy TAD much really.

So i was browsing round my fridge for quick fix AND boom there was my emergency ALMOND milk.

Well i had half glass and gargled it and down the hatch it went.

Within few seconds i was not as breathless and throat was not over juicy EVEN tho is very dry.

But at least am not coughing alltime causing inflammation.

All keep everyone updated on if almond milk as really helped or if its like placebo effect when it comes to oral fungi thrush infection inflammation

Hi Jeff,I also have your dilemma,countless courses of flucanazole and it becomes resistant to nystatin,I get daktarin oral gel 80g on repeat now this seems to keep them quiet....as well as doxycycline and fostair they love sugar and carbs,don’t like oudorless garlic softgels and caprillic acid 😊 good luck

I am pleased you found a solution JAS and hope the Almond milk continues to help. I like it on cereal and almonds are very good for you in general.

Take care xxxx

My asthma nurse recommended plain yogurt ....you can get lactose free or soya as well as dairy.

I asked for advice in a busy pharmacy before the days of little separate rooms......everybody waiting decided to chip in with their remedies. It made for interesting conversations!

I regularly make my own almond milk. So easy and the content of almonds is 50% instead of commercial 2%. As there are no additives or preservatives it does go off within a few days though so just make it as needed.w

Morning JAS,I have to take my hat off (if I had one) to you for trying every method possible to make yourself feel better. I'm going to follow your lead and try Almond Milk as every article about it,totally rates it!

So I'll be waiting for your opinion on it!
