Question 2

can thrush cream help get rid of thrush?

Accepted Answer

See below: Antifungal topical treatment such as nystatin(mycostatin) liquid suspension swish and swallow or Clotrimazole troches dissolve in mouth are the initial treatment.  If this fails oral systemic treatment with fluconazole(diflucan) 100-200mg./day will usually be curative.  Disease in aids patients can be more refractory.  Antifungal creams are not used in the mouth for thrush.

Question 3

how do you get rid of thrush?

Accepted Answer

Depends on condition: Adults or children who have oral thrush but are otherwise healthy can try one of these: eating unsweetened yogurt; taking acidophilus capsules or liquid.
Yogurt and acidophilus don't destroy the fungus, but they can help restore the normal bacterial flora in your body. If your infection persists, your doctor will prescribe an antifungal medication.

Question 4

how do you get rid of thrush in men?

Accepted Answer

Oral antifungals: This can be managed with mouthwashing using topical antifungals.  The problem is that normal adults do not usually get thrush unless they are diabetic, on antibiotics, steroids, or have some impairment of their immune system.  Any adult needing treatment for thrush or having difficulty clearing it should be tested for HIV among other things.

Question 9

do you think i'll need to use creams to get rid of thrush or will it go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

It is best to treat: the thrush. Once in a while it will resolve if the causes are corrected - but I would NOT rely on this.

Question 10

will brushing tongue get rid of thrush?

Accepted Answer

Not by itself: Candida fungi are normally in low numbers in the mouth, but can overgrow forming white, cheesy patches that may bleed. It is associated with taking antibiotics that kill the good bacteria, stress or immune suppression from various diseases & medications such as steroids. Eating yogurt with live cultures or rinsing and swallowing pro-biotic mixtures with lacto-bacillus can restore a normal balance.
