Hi..
Thanks for the query..

If you have Oral thrush and a history of using Advair that contains Fluticasone Propionate that is a steroid and is commonly seen to cause oral yeast infection known as Oral Thrush..

So my suggestion is to first of all consult your Physician to check if he can reduce the doses of Advair so that the symptoms will become less severe..

For now start gargling with Nystatin mouthwash that is an antifungal composition..
Suck Clotrimazole Lozenges..
Eat plenty of probiotics like Yogurt..
Gargle thoroughly with water after using Advair..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
