My best advice would be to cut out sugar from your diet nearly completely for a while . sugar helps candida albicans (the fungus that causes thrush) to grow.

Also take a probiotic to replenish the good bacteria in your gut that the antibiotics works have wiped out …

Thanks Phill yes stay of the sugar take care x

Hi primrose, you probably do this anyway but thought I'd mention it. I gargle & rinse at least 4 times after using my Fostairs inhaler and gargle before I use it too. Still get the odd sore in my mouth but seems to help minimise them (doesn't stop the dry mouth though!🙄) xxx

Thanks Nila I gargle after taking inhaler but will do it before to now take care x

just been given Nystatin as a test found thrush in my mouth and throat .

I guess it accounts for my hoarse voice .

Ordered some plain yogurt too , trying to cut back on sugary stuff .

Best of luck with yours .
