Brief Answer:
need antifungal medications
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
You need either a mouthwash or a lozenge that treats yeast infections like thrush. It is true that with the CLL your immune system is somewhat impaired and that is the probable cause for your getting the thrush.
I do not know if the vinegar will completely get rid of the problem and it is very harsh on the tissues in the mouth. Vinegar is a mild form of acid.
Talk to your doctor about a mouthwash or lozenge to treat the thrush.
