Tips + Rx: If you have thrush you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Use a soft toothbrush on your teeth. Consider taking probiotics like lactobacillus acidophilus. You can also drink kefir or eat yogurts that have live probiotic cultures. Avoid eating excessive sugar. See your physician for prescription antifungal medication.

Yogurt: You need to re-establish the normal bacteria:virus that exists in a healthy mouth and i've heard some say holding yogurt in your mouth may help. There are better prescription products however, if you see your health care professional.
