What is the best cure for thrush in the mouth due to inhaler medication?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
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.
