Thrush question?

[Tigz2020]

Sorry of this is a bit tmi but would love some advice. I'm a worrier and this lockdown makes my mind go into overdrive.

Basically me and my partner treated ourselves 2 weeks ago for a bout of thrush. He took fluconazole and I took a pessary and applied canesten cream.
However he still has thrush but its much worse. We had intercourse last night and he told me after that he still had it.

Now I'm paranoid I felt burning when he kind of finished lol.
Obviously he will be treating himself again. As for me will I definitely get it again. If so surely I can't take the pessary again so soon?
