Probiotics: Sometimes eating probiotics like yogurt with live culture helps with this but if it doesn't improve see your doctor it could very well be thrush.

Try Hydrogen Peroxid: Rinse and swish around in your mouth some diluted hydrogen peroxide. A few capfuls in an 1/8 cup of water. Then spit it out.
