Oral thrush: treatment. Oral thrush (Candida Albicans=fungus ) is not contagious, meaning it cannot be passed to others. Antifungal medications (e.g. nystatin, amphotericin or miconazole) can effectively treat oral thrush, and the condition usually benign and does not cause complications for healthy people.

White skin: As oral bacteria are suppressed (antibiotics) the normal fungal levels can increase (Thrush). See your Dentist or Physician for appropriate diagnosis and possible anti-fungal medication. Probiotics may be helpful to reestablish normal bacterial levels.
