![]() ![]() The first two or three days, I told my hospital nurse that I could swish, but not swallow without gagging. At the hospital, I would focus on swallowing all the immune suppression meds, the antibiotic, the anti-viral, and by the time I got to that terrible tasting "swish and swallow" anti-fungal, I was getting nauseous. I remember having a problem with the Nystatin "swish and swirl" immediately after the transplant. ![]() It's great to meet you! Congrats on your brand new liver! Are you still in the hospital or back home now? I am a two year post kidney transplant patient. I don't recall the incident having any effect on my labs. I notified my transplant dept of the medication as soon as it was prescribed. It went away, and have not had another incidence of it since. After 5 days I went to my PCP to get it checked, and he prescribed another 10 days. I was prescribed the Nystatin in the oral swish-in-mouth for 5 days. So I went to the ER, where the nurse said that the cool dry air, the altitude, and the additional need for the inhaler while hiking had created a 'Perfect Storm' scenario for the thrush to develop. MY 'self diagnosis' was wrong and as always happens, it was worse at night. I had incorrectly decided that my sore throat would go away after a few days of rest and hydration. My throat was sore after a long flight home, after a trip to high elevations in one of the National Parks where my husband and I spent days on the trail. I also have an albuterol inhaler to control diagnosed Exercise-induced asthma. Awful, and brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it!Īs a transplant recipient, I am taking immunosuppressant meds. I had Thrush once, and when I swallowed, it felt as if I was swallowing broken glass. ![]()
