Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Taking Nebulizer that contains Steroid is a potent cause for oral thrush.
The first thing that you need to do is to rinse your mouth thoroughly with water after using Nebuliser.
For now you can suck Clotrimazole lozenges and gargle with Nystatin mouthwash, it will help in clearing thrush
Take more of probiotics like Yogurt and garlic.
Drink plenty of water.
Keep the tongue clean using a tongue scraper.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
