Medication: is usually required to get rid of thrust. Gargling with salt water after each us of Advair can be helpful in preventing thrush. After a person develops thrush it usually requires prescription medication to get rid of it. It is important to have it treated as soon as possible, as it can get worse and potentially spread down into your esophagus. See a doctor or consult a doctor on HealthTap.
