You've probably got this one Paul but natural yoghurt is cooling and meant to help.

My gp prescribed an excellent suspension when I had it, cleared up in no time..

I also have used nystatin suspension for oral thrush or Miconazole gel can help for some types of thrush or if it becomes a chronic problem.

I find fresh pineapple is great and also a toothpaste/mouthwash called biotene great because it has no soap in it so no irritants. It is a wee bit pricey, you can purchase online.

Fresh pineapple is one I haven't heard of before. Thanks for sharing that.

Clean your teeth gums & tongue 4 times a day (after eating) with a soft or medium toothbrush. Spit dont swallow. Hold the anti-fungal solution in your mouth as long as possible (at least a minute) swallow it (the thrush will be in the throat as well as the mouth. Try not to drink or eat for 1/2 hour to allow time to work. Brush dentures thoroughly & use sterident over night. I eat a spoon of marmite mornings to up my B12 Ask doctor to check for anaemia & take iron supplements if necessary. Eat your veg! Some foods like meats will have a metallic taste & this will supress your appetite. It gets better if you get on top of the fungus. Eat live natural unsweetened yoghurt. Avoid sugary foods & drinks sugar will feed the fungus. Do not feed the fungus!! Good luck x
