Summary
A Reddit user in r/covidlonghaulers described oral thrush that appeared alongside back-to-back COVID infections within a month. They tried Gentian Violet, which they said worked better, then started prescription nystatin oral suspension; by the end of the first day the thrush was getting worse and eating was difficult. They applied Kanka for pain and paid under $2.00 for the Gentian Violet.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
