A member asked:
How long does it take for garlic, acidopholis and gentian violet to cure oral thrush? i have no insurance til next year so can't see a doctor!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1 week: Application of gentian violet for a week should do a job if you can bear with some messiness. I have noticed that other oral lesions have been mistaken as thrush by general public.
