Suggest Treatment For Oral Thrush
I have thrush of the mouth. I m 52 years old. Been diagnosed after 1 year research with MSSA / staph of the lungs. We cleared it. But the thrush of the mouth is not healing with swish and swallow medicine. I m afraid of getting staph back in the lungs again. I was active runner non smoker and non drinker. What do you suggest? I was the one that begged the drs. To do the biopsy on lungs to find the staph.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The oral thrush or candidiasis can be treated with topical antifungal agents like clotrimazole (candid mouth paint) apply 3-4times daily over the lesion. If you are using any steroid sprays, it can cause candidiasis. Anyway, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
