A member asked:
When i use a steroid inhaler i always get very bad thrush it does not matter how well i rinse. is there any to prevent this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally, Yes: You need to let your physcian or dentist know about this. They can prescribe either a mouth rinse or pills that can help prevent or reduce the symptoms of thrush. Thrush is known as candidiasis and is caused by an organism that we all have in our intestinal tract to aid in digestion. Many medications can cause Candida Albicans to get out of balance and the medications help set things right.
