See your doctor: Antibiotic use is associated with oral thrush; your doctor can prescribe an antifungal (either topical solution or a pill to take) that will help clear up the infection, as well as potentially an oral anesthetic to help with the pain.

Thrush: Yogurt is not a cure all. Seek care from your dentist or physician who can prescribe an antifungal medication which should help you solve the problem.

Candidiasis\thrush: The antibiotics does not treat thrush and in fact, along with the stress may be part of the problem. First, you need to confirm that what you have is truly thrush and then you need professional treatment. There are many systemic and local factors to take into consideration and you cannot successfully resolve your problem on your own. Have an oral surgeon or your physician advise you.
