I don't have experience with that but it may be a risk. Antibiotics of any kind can do that.

Do good for one thing and can cause another 🙄

I have been taking azithromyacin for sometime and have not had thrush or chest infection, however my hearing has definitely worsened, and this is a side effect of azithromyacin. Jane

My hearing has also got worse, I’m wearing a hearing aid now. I’m thinking of having a break from it during the summer, will see what resp clinic say. No thrush though.

Take it 3 times weekly.mouth a bit sore at times. I usually fit in an extra tooth brushing at lunch.

If it gets a bit sore I put teething gel or ulcer cream on it. Hope this helps

I take it every day and yes get thrush, it’s horrible. I find natural or Greek yogurt helps and have some, with honey, every day. This seems to keep things manageable along with mouthwash twice a day.

I take roxythromycin daily. I get thrush from my use of inhalers. I take nystatin which clears up the thrush.

I have taken Azithromycin 3 times a week for 3 years and have not had oral thrush or an infection but my hearing has deteriorated and i m now wearing aids. There is always side effects with these drugs of some sort.
