Brief Answer:
Tab fluconazole or cap itraconazole, clotrimazole mouth paint

Detailed Answer:
Terbinafine is not very effective in treating thrush.
I would recommend you to take tablet fluconazole 150 mg every alternate day or capsule itraconazole 100 mg once daily for 2 weeks.
Also apply clotrimazole mouth paint on the affected areas 2-3 times in a day for 3 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
