My Mom got thrush on her toungue as a side effect of chemotherapy. Her doctor recommended going to any store with a large dental hygiene section, like Walgreens or WalMart, and looking for mouthwash specially made for thrush. There are two that I found for her and both worked very well. I'm sorry that I cannot remember the brands, but if you look, you will find them!

see a doctor, take acidopholous(over the counter in vitamin area) and eat lots of yogurt which helps reduce yeast in your system

thrush medication is an anti-fungal. like nystatin,mycelex troche,diflucan. thrush is a fungal infection that can cause white spots in the mouth and throat. most commonly caused by a weak immune system, or taking antibiotics for a long period of time,or using orally steroid inhalers.

If you use a tongue cleaner, floss, eat mints, and mouthwash it should work.  If you are still having bad breath after doing all this, see a dentist.  As weird as it seems, it could be signs of a serious condition.

try bushing your tongue and washing your mouth out with salt water. could be mouth blister or could be thrush if thrush will show as a white fur on your tongue eat some yogurt. if it doesn't clear up in a day or two go see your doc.

Sounds like thrush. It's a yeast infection. It's curable.

Acidophilus. Not sure if I spelled that right. You can get it from the healthfood store. Also aloe vera is helpful. They both help to maintain the ph balance. Both of these can help, but not cure a yeast infection. You can get medication over the counter. I'd use the medication first & the herbals as a preventative measure. Also, watch your intake of sugar.

I use azo yeast. you find it at your local drug store near the monosat and things. It is an herbal remedy u take 3 times daily. I use that and eat 3 servings of yogurt with live cultures *check the label to make sure* also limit your dairy and sugar intake during this time

1.  Eat sugar free yogurt twice a day for a few days.  You should see some improvement.\n\n2.  Insert plain, sugar free yogurt into the vagina before bed.  It helps to balance the chemical acidity in your tissues and helps to eliminate the bad yeast cells.\n\n3.  Douche every few days with a mixture of plain vinegar and water to help realign the acidity levels.\n\n4.  Drink lots of water and take a good multivitamin every day.\n\n5.  Try to keep sugar intake to a minimum, as sugar "feeds" yeast and helps it grow.\n\n6.  Drink a few glasses of sugar free cranberry juice every day to help avoid the urinary tract infection that usually accompanies yeast infections.\n\n7.  Try eating a low carb diet while you are recovering from the infection, as carbs (breads in particular) break down into sugars that, again, help feed yeasts in the body.

I had this problem also.  I ended up going to an endocrinologist for an unrelated problem.  I mentioned it when he said, "Do you have any other questions?"  He determined that I had vaginal and gastro-intestinal yeast.  He prescribed a drug called Diflucan that you normally take for a vaginal yeast infection.   His reasoning was that if you get rid of the yeast in that entire area, it is more effecacious.  I took one pill a day for an entire year, getting  blood testing every three months to make sure it wasn't damaging my liver.  I haven't had the problem since I stopped the medication in 1990, and my liver is fine.  If you don't want to seek the services of a physician, the advice given above about limiting your sugar, and intake of fermented foods is also a good way to control it, but doesn't completely stop the overgrowth of yeast in the body.

Use over-the-counter treatments like vaginal suppositories/creams, you can clear it up in a few days. (A doctor can order a prescription pill to take also.)There are a couple of different kinds; if one ingredient doesn't work, try a different one. Also over-the-counter cortisone cream will relieve the itch. Stay clear of sweets, white "carbs" like bread and pasta, eat yogurt with acidophalus cultures included (kills yeast) or take the over-the-counter acidophalus capsules. Wear natural-fiber, loose fitting clothing and cotton panties/bras..this is VERY IMPORTANT. You want to keep the areas as dry as possible. You can apply cornstarch to soothe and dry the areas also. Don't use harsh soaps; try a bath in tipid water with 1/2 cup of oatmeal in a wash cloth tied with a rubberband. It's a great gentle cleanser and won't irritate your delicate skin. If you have an intimate partner, they will want to be treated also as you can pass this back and forth. Douching is not recommended while you're using your yeast medications vaginally.  In fact, too much douching can cause more irritation and then with only water or water with a tablespoon of white vinigar.  Hope this helps cause I know you must be miserable. God bless.

no need.  candidiasis results from unchecked "balance" between good bacteria and harmful bacteria.  what your "really need is to put the balance between good and harmful bacteria back to normal.\n\nTIP:\n1)if you are a woman, try minimizing the use of vaginal douches.  these agent often reduce BOTH good and harmful bacteria. instead, just use some medicated vaginal wash.\n2) consume lots of yogurts. lactobacillus could give you a big help in fighting harmful bacterias.

You need to consult a doctor.  There is medication available that you swish in your mouth, then swallow. A couple of the most common ones are Nystatin & Diflucan. It's just an antifungal that will get rid of the yeast pretty quickly.  Also, what caused the yeast?  Lots of antibiotics will lead to this.  Perhaps there's another medication this person could take if this is the cause.

my natropathic doc gave me very strong oregano pills to eat with meals that kill yeast (candida), bad bacteria and good bacteria all at once.  1.5 hrs after meals I had to take acidopholis and bifidus with lots of water to replace the good bacteria in my intestines. at night and in the morning i drank psyllium husk/water (to clean out bowels easily) and healing clay (to absorb toxins which are released in HUGE amounts while cleansing).  If you really have bad candida, you will be sick for a few days. You cannot have any sugar because the yeast feeds of of it. if you need sweetness use stevia. 10% of your meal can be grains but no more than that, because yeast feed of of that, too. it's hard, but worth it. do this for  3 weeks minimum. for the first 3 weeks don't eat any fruit.

Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of yeast, usually caused by antibiotic therapy.  If the baby is breastfeeding, this can be passed to mom's nipples.  Acidophilus is great for treating yeast, but you should consult with the baby's pediatrician about treatment and ask them what you need to do to treat yourself if you're breastfeeding. Otherwise, you'll pass it right back to baby.

With a yeast infection, common symptoms are a cheesy white discharge, irritation, intense burning and itching, and redness in the area.\n\nHowever, you don't have to have ALL of these symptoms. \n\nWhile I wouldn't recommend any over the counter remedies or douches just yet, you could try a less expensive natural approach. Eat plenty of yogurt, cut down on sugar, etc. Also, spread some of that yogurt around your labia, as the bacteria compete with the fungal candida...if it is in fact a yeast infection. That way, you may nip it in the bud before a discharge, odor, or pain rear their ugly heads. \n\nIf the symptoms worsen, there's a vareity of over-the-counter remedies that will suit ya just fine.
