MANY TKX, VERA Candida - oral - ManagementHow should I treat oral candidiasis in an otherwise healthy person?For localized or mild oral candidal infection, prescribe topical treatment for 7 days (and advise the person to continue treatment for 2 days after symptoms resolve).Offer miconazole oral gel first-line.Offer nystatin suspension if miconazole is unsuitable.For extensive or severe candidiasis, prescribe oral fluconazole 50 mg a day for 7 days.If the infection has not resolved after 7 days, offer treatment for a further week.If there has been some response to miconazole, extend the course for a further week.If miconazole has had little or no effect despite adequate adherence, offer a 7-day course of oral

Minor wording change regarding the use of miconazole oral gel in children aged 4 months and less. Issued in October 2009.April to September 2009 — converted from PRODIGY guidance to CKS topic structure. The evidence-base has been reviewed in detail, and recommendations are more clearly justified and transparently linked to the supporting evidence.There are no major changes to the recommendations.
