So I’m on rifabutin and clarithromycin for bartonella and I noticed Candida has come back. I have worsening of oral thrush and digestive issues despite taking probiotics and eating as clean as I can and taking nystatin. I was wondering if I should stop the antibiotics or continue and deal with the Candida when I stop them later? I’m running a little bit of a high temp and I’m not sure if that’s from Candida or antibiotics working (it’s not Covid I got tested twice and both are negative). I don’t know if having the Candida worsen will prevent antibiotics from also working. Please give opinions of whether it’s okay to stay on antibiotics!!
What does your LLMD say?
It should be ok to stop for a few days and solely treat the Candida.
But do you need to?
I take diflucan while I’m on abx.
This is prescribed by my LLMD
Fever is a common herx symptom.
