Treatment of oral thrush detailed below
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic.
Oral thrush is treated with Nystatin oral suspension (Trade name: Bio-statin) which is an antifungal agent. Gently spread the suspension in your mouth and retain it as long as possible in your mouth before swallowing. It usually takes 10-14 day treatment to clear up the thrush.
Keep your mouth clean. If you are using any inhaled steroids for copd, asthma etc, rinse your mouth thoroughly after use.
Follow-up with a primary care provider to check your blood sugar levels, as underlying Diabetes can cause oral thrush.
