Prevention: Is the best cure. Rinsing your mouth out with water after each use of your inhaler. But at this point a prescription medication from your physician after evaluation.

Oral Hygiene!: Good oral hygiene with toothbrushing after meals and before bed as well as OTC mouthwash should resolve the issue. If not you may need anti fungal lozenges from your physician.

Be sure to rinse your mouth right after using the inhaler, as well.

Change inhaler: and review inhaler technique. Try using a spacer.

Dr. Allan is correct (as usual!) Also, rinse mouth after every use of an inhaler, too. Get medicine to treat the thrush. Avoid meat that has antibiotics and hormones in it.
