How To Treat Oral Thrush
Causes of Oral Thrush
Candida albicans is a common fungus found naturally in the mouth and throughout the body. It is normally quite harmless. A candidal infection happens when the pH, or acid balance, in the body becomes disturbed. A common cause of all types of thrush can be taking a course of antibiotics. The antibiotics kill off other harmless bacteria, allowing the Candida fungus to thrive.
Symptoms
Oral thrush looks like small white patches on the gums or roof of the mouth, and will leave a raw red patch if rubbed off.
Treatment of Oral Thrush
Oral tablets containing fluconazole, ketoconazole or itraconazole can be used to deal with Candida wherever it is present in the body. They are very effective, especially when the thrush is persistent. Some people find that eating live yoghurt and avoiding yeast-type foods and drinks during an attack can help. Complementary medicine can also be useful in dealing with underlying causes of thrush. Tablets, pastilles or oral suspensions containing some of the same antifungal agents are available for the treatment of oral thrush.
