Prescribed a swish and swallow medication explain?

medications are benadryl, Nysatin,prelon
Answer:
The medication has different meds to treat your symptoms. By swishing it coats the entire area of the mouth and by swallowing you are getting the medication internally to also combat the symptom. Benadryl is an antihistimine Nystatin is for oral cavity fungal infections and Prelone is a corticosteroid used to treat severe allergies, arthritis, asthma, and skin conditions.
A swish and swallow medicine is exactly as it is. Swish around in your mouth, then swallow. usually given for thrush, mouth sores...ect.
Never heard of this, but my guess is that your mouth absorbs medication often much faster than that which is swallowed. That is why heart patients put nitroglycerin under the tongue. Acts very rapidly.
