Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It seems that the cause of Oral Thrush in your case is poor immunity as well as taking antibiotics..

In case of you are not able to take Oral antifungal medicines you can start gargling with antifungal mouthwash and suck clotrimazole lozenges..
You can also use anti-fungal mouth-paints like Candid mouth-paint..

Take Probiotics like Yoghurt and Garlic..
Avoid using antimicrobial mouthwash..
Drink plenty of water..
Avoid spicy food and maintain a good Oral hygiene..

In case of no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
Dr.Honey Arora.
