Hi there, unfortunately thrush oral, under boob or vaginal is Common when on immunosuppressants. Your GP should be able to help, nystatin takes a while to work as does any medications for fungal infections. Try live yoghurt on your tongue too. Also if you have a partner, they need to be treated as infection can be transferred to any of above areas. You're not alone, it sucks but is a common problem. Hope this helps x
