Oral thrush....HELP!!!!

Ok ladies I need help!!! I had a terrible flu/cold for about 2 weeks and OB prescribed a z-pack. Now, I'm positive I have oral thrush. I had a strep culture a week and a half ago that came back negative. The past two days the back of my tongue, roof of my mouth and my throat have started to hurt and are covered in white. I texted my OB and all he said was "strep throat" to which I replied "my strep culture was negative" and he wrote "mouth" I replied yes, and then got no response. I've been up for 2 hours now because I'm in so much pain and can barely swallow. I've been gargling with hydrogen peroxide, I've used chloraceptic spay(which does nothing) and just had some apple cider vinegar.....I'm 36 weeks pregnant and so hormonal (especially from being so sick the past few weeks) I'm about ready to wake DH and go to ER. I don't know what else to do. I need relief. This is awful!!!!!

Me:Hypothyroid DH: Type II diabetic. Together since 03/2007, Married 10/2011, D/C bc 10/2011. TTC: 11/2011. Charted BBT and CV along with OPK 10/2011-02/2012 Baseline labs 02/2012 WNL, SA 03/2012: botched sample by lab - destroyed hubby's confidence. 04/2012 Clomid 05/2012 Clomid 06/2012 Clomid 07/2012 Clomid and Ovidrel 08/2012 Ovidrel (I never knew that I was supposed to be monitored while on meds...I never was. I asked for u/s and other tests to see why we weren't getting pregnant, doc just kept giving me meds and telling me to go to his church for a "laying of hands") Stopped all monitoring/testing/temps, etc, Sex became a chore and we started to grow apart. At 12 mos I decided to look for another doc. 02/2013 consult with new doc....3 days later testing began...u/s, all good, HSG: all good, labs: all good, ovulating, etc. Started on Pregnitude. 04/2013 failed attempt for SA, 05/2013 failed attempt SA. 12/2013 SA: 3% morph, abnormal functionality. DH started Pycnogenol. RE consult 01/15/2014.

ALL Welcome :)

    Yeast is the devil. I had thrush on my nipples and that shit hurts. 

    See a doc ASAP to get an antifungal. I'm not sure if you'll have to use the oral Nystatin commonly prescribed for infants with oral thrush or if you can take Diflucan when pg, but you'll need something.
