Suggest Remedy For Oral Thrush While On Flovent

I have thrush, have been sick with The flu and a cold for ten days and using a Flovent inhaler twice a day. My throat has been sore but I was so miserable I didn't look in my mouth. I just started feeling better and realized this is going on. Is there a home treatment I can start tonight?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain Flovent contains steroid Fluticasone and use of steroid inhalers can cause oral thrush as reduced immunity caused by steroids can cause overgrowth of opportunist organisms like fungus..
You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and he can evaluate you clinically and in case if thrush is confirmed he can advise you antifungal mouthwash like Nystatin Mouthwash and clotrimazole lozenges..
You can take ample of probiotics like Yoghurt and garlic in diet..
Drink plenty of water and maintain a good oral hygiene..
For sore throat do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations..
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Suck throat lozenges..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
