Is candida albicans also called thrush? is it normal to reoccur when already cured months ago? And since I've already been examinated can I just use the same medications as last time? Thx

Dr. Salim Saab Otolaryngology (ENT)
Candida albicans is commonly referred to as "Thrush" as you have indicated, as for the infection it can recur if the conditions are favorable (use of steroids,...etc.). It would be appropriate to use the same medication as the one you used the last time you had the similar infection.
