Hiya

If you've already got oral thrush, try eating live yoghurt. You can also get over-the-counter thrush medications, or if in doubt visit your doctor who can prescribe antifungals.

As already mentioned, using a spacer with your steroid inhaler and rinsing your mouth out afterwards can help prevent oral thrush, but see your pharmacist or GP if in doubt :)

I use daktarin oral gel, sold over the counter, and it tastes nice!

Using it overnight works well too!

Thanks to all for you advice, I do use a spacer think its the antibiotics and Pred but I will give your suggestions a try, cheers :)
