How do you combat recurrent thrush??
Question: tried most prescription drugs but have suffered with thrush for about 2and a half yrs. done most of what is recommended, but nothing has got rid of it perminantly. can anyone help?
Answers: Small amounts of the candida fungus are present in the mouth, digestive tract, and skin of most healthy people and are normally kept in check by other bacteria and microorganisms in the body. However, certain illnesses, stress, or medications can disturb the delicate balance, causing the fungus candida to grow out of control, causing infection. I had thrush when I was in the hospital and was taking massive amounts of antibiotics.
Medications that upset the balance of microorganisms in the mouth and may cause thrush include corticosteroids, antibiotics, and birth control pills. Illnesses or medical situations that make candida infection more likely to develop include uncontrolled diabetes, HIV infection, cancer, dry mouth, or pregnancy (caused by the hormonal changes that occur with pregnancy).
I don't know what you've tried so far to get rid of your thrush, but you need to brush your teeth often, avoid mouthwashes or sprays, don't smoke, and limit the amount of sugar and yeast containing foods you eat. Things like sweets, bread, beer and wine encourage thrush growth.
Good luck. I hope this helps. My thrush eventually went away, but it took some time.
