Medication for oral candidiasis
Dear sir/madam, i've been suffering from oral candidiasis for about an year, was prescribed clotrimazole mouth paint for topical use but it didn't help much. I would be really thankful if you could suggest me some antifungal tablets for a course of 7-12 days. Thank you.
