Thrush Cream

I think I have thrush but am not entirely sure-I have the symptoms, but I've never had it before and as its the weekend I won't be able to get to the doctors for ages. The only thing is, the itching is driving me insane! Is it ok for me to use something like the canesten cream if I don't definitely have it? I'm going to get it checked out as soon as, but obviously the bank holiday weekend wasn't the best time for this to happen.

    Your best bet is to go and speak to the pharmacist in a chemist tomorrow, see what they advise.

    Take a read of TheSite's factsheet on thrush.

    It would be best to get checked out if possible but to ease the itching for the time being I'm sure you could use some Canesten cream.
