[|Human|] I seem to have thrush in my cheeks gums and am in the middle of an antibiotic treatment for a sinus infection. Any ideas? I am a 75 year old male in fairly good health but have been down with this for a week or so. Very tired, had a bad cough but that has lessened . YYYY@YYYY
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Some antibiotics can cause oral thrush. Antibiotics kill bacteria. In doing so they also kill natural human flora of mouth. This causes thrusChatDoctormon antibiotics causing this symptom are amoxicillin, cephalexin, doxycycline etc. So if you are taking any of these antibiotic, you should definitely call your doctor and discuss changing antibiotic. You can take probiotic tablets for oral thrush. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
