Calling Your Health Care Provider
Call your health care provider immediately if you are taking immunosuppressive drugs (e.g., chemotherapy or prednisone), and you develop a fever greater than 100.5F, or have cough with shortness of breath. If a stiff neck and headache accompany your fever, go directly to an emergency department.
Contact your health care provider if you have recurrent yeast infections or oral thrush.
