Yeast fungi

Hello, yeast fungi were found in my mouth and throat. I have been taking Nystatin Suspension for three days and have been feeling very tired since then, and my throat is burning. Is this normal?

Dr. med. Frauke Gehring

Good day,

It is normal for the throat to burn, as an overgrowth of yeast fungi causes inflammation, which then causes a sore feeling. After a few more days, you should feel significantly better.

The fatigue is not caused by this, so I would recommend looking for inflammation in the blood (which should be done anyway to investigate why you have a yeast infection). It is also important to check for hypothyroidism, anemia, and low blood pressure.

Sincerely, Dr. Gehring
