Question:
Is chlorhexidine mouth wash effective in treating oral thrush?
Three weeks ago a have a couple of mouth sores at the back of my throat specially in the uvula area, they are so painful that I decided to take antibiotics treatment to speed the healing about a week after taking antibiotics I develop oral thrush inside my mouth which resulted in causing my tongue to have multiple small canker sores. I just want to ask if chlorhexidne mouth wash will help cure the thrush and what food can you recommend that contains antifungal properties? What is the sure fire home remedies to cure oral thrush?
Answers:
There are no sure fire home remedies. You need one of 3 common prescriptions to take care of this. Eating yogurt MAY help somewhat, but if you have a full blown case of thrush, you need the Rx. (Mycostatin suspension, Mycelex Troche, or Diflucan tabs)
