The treatment of thrush in adults usually involves antifungal medications, either in the form of a topical cream or ointment, or taken orally. Topical creams are usually applied directly to the affected area using a cotton swab or applicator. Oral medications come in the form of tablets, lozenges, or liquid suspensions. Prescription antifungals typically include fluconazole, miconazole, or clotrimazole.

In addition to medication, there are several self-care measures that can be taken to help reduce the symptoms of thrush. These include:

• Rinse the mouth with warm saltwater several times a day.

• Avoid eating acidic or sugary foods, as these can increase the growth of yeast in the mouth.

• Increase your intake of probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt.

• Brush teeth and tongue gently with toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

• Avoid smoking.

• Avoid alcohol consumption.

• Avoid using scented soaps or perfumes directly around the mouth.

• Change toothbrushes regularly.

• Wear loose fitting clothes to reduce sweating around the mouth.

• Keep the mouth clean and dry.

• Avoid sharing personal items such as toothbrushes, eating utensils, and drinking vessels.

If self-care measures are not sufficient to improve the symptoms, or if the infection is severe, a doctor may prescribe oral antifungal medications. It is important to take the prescribed medication as directed and to finish the entire course, even if the symptoms have improved.
