Oral thrush: can sometimes spread to the roof of the mouth and the back of the throat. In many cases oral thrush does not cause any serious problem. The physician can diagnose oral thrush by looking into your mouth and taking history of present illness. Prescription of the anti-thrush drugs will solve the problem. If left untreated it will get worse. Take care.

Thrush: Thrush will go away with antibiotics that treat candidiasis or yeast. Symptoms improve within 48 hours. The symptoms can linger in immune compromised patients. Maintain good oral hygiene, stop smoking, limit yeast containing foods and sugar. Untreated the mouth pain and swallowing becomes very painful and patients struggle to eat and drink enough in the daily diet.
