Hi I take doxycycline, Azithromycin and metronidazole for lyme and have had no issues with candida so far
I have taken 10 days of penicillin for bacterial tonsillitis
Now I have candida overgrowth - is this the same things as thrush?
It's both oral and vaginal, is there anything I can do about this?
I want to make sure it goes away and preferably doesn't come back. Thank you

You can use over the counter cream for vaginal candida overgrowth.
However, since you have both and you may also have candida overgrowth in the GI tract, I would see the doctor for a prescription. Such as Fluconazole etc.

Agree. Some Lyme docs used to stop antibiotics and treat for yeast with Diflucan (fluconazole). It has been long enough that I do not know if they still do that or not. But that is what it sounds like you need to me.
There are herbals. But it sounds like you have a good case of it. Talk with whoever is prescribing your antibiotics.
