Thrush is a fungal infection and is treated with antifungal medications which are not effective if the infection is bacterial. The exact cause can not be determined without a swab. However, whatever the reason is, both you and your boyfriend have to be treated and with the same medications (antibiotics or antifungal). Just to be sure that you no longer have the infection, a swab 10 to 14 days after the last medication taken is recommended.
