I never went to a doctor for it (Baaaaad nurse!), but started eating yogurt and larges doses of vitamin C daily for a while and it went away. My mouth never got raw or anything painful, just white furry tongue with bad breath with a weird sensation swallowing. It was like that for about 3 weeks I would say, and eventually went away. I've never had a vaginal yeast infection, FYI. It has not returned. I assume it was thrush for lack of any other ideas. But, I too have no predisposing medical conditions. No diabetes/high blood sugar, no HIV, no recent infections or antibiotics... Since you were already on meds for it and it didn't erradicate it I would definitely return to the doc or at least call for an Rx renewal, because infections can get resistent to medications if not cured the first round of meds, or perhaps it wasn't the right medication anyway. Hope you feel better soon. Sorry to say I don't know why we would be more prone to get thrush.
