Is there a home remedy for thrush?
Hi Folks! I am prone to thrush after taking antibiotics/steroids for sinus infections. I just finished a 2 week sinus infection and I have thrush again.
Is there a home remedy for thrush? Thrush is stubborn. I usually end up on Nystatin Liquid and Diflucan tablets to clear it up.
Thanking you in advance.
Blessings & Prayers to all.....

I am not sure about home remedies. I know my ENT said would have to have antibiotics if it came up.
The key to not developing thrush I was told by my ENT and PCP was prevention. Were you told to wash out your mouth and gargle after each time you used the inhaler? Or was the issue with thrush from a sinus spray with steroids?
I guess you could still get the steroids down into your throat from a nasal spray but was not given that would cause it. I know I take Xhance a steroid for my sinuses and I was not instructed to gargle afterward.
However I also use Mexiline (spell) a steroid inhaler for bronchial irritation. And with that was told to gargle and wash mouth out immediately after using the inhaler every time.
Don't know if this helped but my experience with this.

It's actually a sinus solution with antibiotic/steroids that you irrigate your sinus with and
your rinse your mouth afterward. This never happened before...but, I've never been on it
for two weeks before.
God Bless You and yours.....

1 ReactionVital Nutrients has a dental probiotic that would help with thrush. It is available on Amazon. There may be others, but this one is chewable. Good luck.
