Suggest Home Remedies For Oral Thrush While On Antibiotics For Bronchitis

I took an antibiotic for bronchitis. I think I now have a yeast infection in my mouth. The back of my tongue is white. I am aware that this can easily turn into a vaginal infection as well. I have stopped the medication until I can get back in the doctors office. Is there a home remedy for this??

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Antibiotics are commonly seen to cause oral thrush and vaginal thrush especially in individuals with low resistance..
However if you have got oral thrush due to antibiotic intake and now you have stopped taking antibiotic, you can start gargling with Nystatin containing mouth rinse and suck Clotrimazole lozenges.
Take plenty of probiotics like Yogurt and garlic as they will help in clearing fungus faster.
Avoid antiseptic mouthwash and maintain a meticulous oral hygiene..
Keep the tongue cleaned by gently scraping with tongue cleaner..
You will see improvement within 4-5 days..

Take care..

Regards.
Dr.Honey Arora.
