In the morning, i have thrush pretty bad, have to rince, my mouth, with water, for a couple, of minutes, to get the slime, out of my mouth. i think mouth thrush,is a fungus, is this correct. is water and baking soda ok to use.or is there medication?

Most white coatings in the mouth are not yeast infection (thrush); and yeast is unlikely if not predisposed to it, e.g. immune deficiency, malnutrition. recent antibiotic treatment, and a few others. In any case, you cannot and should not assume any particular cause without professional examination. See your doctor. Good luck.
