How can i treat a thrush infection due to uncontrolled diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: I depends upon where the infection happens to be. Best treated by getting your sugar lower (yeasts just loves to eat sugar). A prescription would probably be best, but there are some "nystatin" products over the counter and although messy, gentian violet works very well.
