if i mis disagnosed what i thought might be thrush, and started using canestone duo table and cream, if it's not thrush could doing this have made the infection worse, i know reckon that with further looking into it it could be a fungueal infection, coz it does seem to be growing in high numbers daily, i'm going to see the docs of tuesday, obviously today is fri, could this get serious in 2-3days,

Canesten oral capsule contains the active ingredient fluconazole and Canesten thrush cream contains the active ingredient clotrimazole. Both these are antifungal medicines used to treat infections with fungi and yeasts. If you have a fungal of yeast infection, the medication may be able to diminish the problem. If you misdiagnosed, you haven't caused any lasting serious harm by using the Canesten. But by all means, see your doctor.

Hi:

If you don't have the right medication, there is a possibility that you could make it worse. It could get worse from not being treated properly. The meds that would be used to treat fungus would be different from the meds used to treat bacterias. See a medical profession so that you can get rid of the problem once and for all.

While a misdiagnosis is certainly possible (it is the patient after all who is diagnosing himself), using an anti-bacterial cream instead of an anti-fungal cream (or visa verse) is not going to cause any problems other than NOT stopping the progress of the infection. In fact, using an anti-bacterial could actually be BENIFICIAL in that it could stop secondary infections CAUSED by bacteria. Conversely, though less likely, an anti-fungal could prevent fungus in an bacterial infection.

Hi Mark:



Ooook, but take my previous advise, please. I really hope you'll let me know how it goes. Also, be sure to use safety practices that might keep others from being infected, just in case whatever's going on is contagious. That's really important. How long have you had your symptoms? Usually, if you don't see any improvement in a couple of days, the treatment may not be working.

Good choice Mark! I'll be anxious to hear what the doctor says. Be prepared for questions about causes so that you can possibly prevent this problem from happening again. Yeah ! You're setting a great example for other people. You are also helping other people be sharing your experience. This community cares.....Keep us updated.

Yeah for you ! See, no more stress and no more worrying. As I've said to other community members, our imaginations can be worse than reality. You have set a great example. Now use the meds as directed so that you can be totally free of this and move on. Wait for the test results before intimacy with someone. I'm so glad that your news was good. Hurray....I know you will return and continue to share your health experiences so that we can learn from you and you can learn and be supported by us.

Hi bmark:
What happened when you saw the doctor. I hope that you got answers and you are all cleared up by now. It has been a couple+ weeks. I am anxious to hear what your diagnosis was and what your treatment was. If it was contagious, I hope that you have notified any sexual partners that you may have had. Best wishes and PLEASE let us know what you found out. We'd like to know that you are doing better.
