A member asked:
Does listerine mouthwash and/or 3% hydrogen peroxide help cure oral thrush on tongue??
12 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No it won't: First, you probably don't have thrush, i.e. infection with yeasts, usually Candida. Coated white tongue is not the same thing. In any case, listerine or hydrogen peroxide won't help with either yeast infection or coated tongue.

No: Please see your Dentist for an informed diagnosis and correct treatment/medication. OTC's are not going to help you.
