How To Treat For The Yeast Infection In Mouth?
I have a very sore mouth- red tongue, and I think it is a yeast infrection that I have had before. I have some nystanin-sp? from a yeast infection in my mouth from August- I started using this on Friday and have not had much relief. Also my lips are bright red when I open my mouth up and the back of my throat itches. I am needing some ideas. Thanks!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The yeast infection can be treated with nystatin suspension. You can also use clotrimazole mouth paint. You need to apply 4-5 times daily for a week. Since you are telling it is reccuring, so you need to get a blood sugar level checked. In case of diabetics and immunocompromised patients the fungal infection occurs frequently. So consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
