Comment:
I developed oral thrush after a week of the antibiotic metronidazole. I’m on day 4 of nystatin and my thrush is getting worse instead of better. My lips are now chapping and my entire mouth has a burnt feeling. My tastebuds aren’t the same and the taste in my mouth from the nystatin is terrible.
