Oral Thrush - long lasting

I have been having trouble swallowing and it also hurts when I swallow.. It doesnt feel like its my throat but right before the actual throat pipe begins.. Had this for a few weeks.. Can this be from remicade or Crohns? I also am a smoker but have never had this..Feels a bit different then a regular sore throat or cold

It's definitely thrush? The first time I had a Crohn's flare (it was by far the worst) it was also untreated and progressed to the point where I developed mouth ulcers (which probably went down my throat and esophagus) - obviously extreme but this last flare I also developed some (much milder but still) mouth and lip ulcers. My GI had never seen it (he's less experienced than I realized/than my last dr is) but I have found that when I have a flare it also tends to come out thru my skin. It was so painful I literally couldn't speak. That was treated with something from the specialty pharmacy they had to make and I was admitted to the hospital directly after. This last time after a round of antibiotics I had a BROWN tongue, which was most likely a bacterial or fungal situation - so every morning I would wake up and scrape my tongue then use coconut oil for oil pulling then after brushing my teeth would use the nystatin. I also am a big proponent of probiotics, especially with/after antibiotics - in capsule form and also fermented foods I've found are the best. I take them daily but double and triple up any time I have to take antibiotics.

The diflucan didn't help? what was the dose? I had to do a week at 200mg once when I was on a lot of antibiotics and I got thrush. I never found probiotics to be helpful unfortunately.
