Dr Rx for Thrush?

Yes, you can get a prescription for an anti fungal. when you take it make sure you take a pro-biotic as well during it. Thrush is called oral candidiasis I am blanking on the common most used med for it. but it is a 7 day pill you take. I get it a lot, and with having lupus i hate being on antibiotics, anti fungals or anti virals, because the anti fungal will kill the bad stuff and your good stuff too. that is why you will want to take your pro biotic with it. it is a vicious little circle. lol. The best OTC is a product called CLO-sys it is about 14.00 a bottle and you put the mint flavoring in. so if you are experiencing burning tongue you can mix it weak. I find it keeps me from having thrush. I often suggested it to patients when i was a hygienist because it works well to keep bacteria down and with periodontal disease and very mild on the oral tissues. If i remember the name of the med i will write it to you.. i am having brain fog... also thrush is caused or often occurs when you have more sugar in your diet. (carbohydrates, and such, so any time you eat if you can right afterwards brush your teeth or even just rinse with water a few times and spit.) I can't drink any thing with the fake sugars they give me migraines. so if i have juice or anything other than water i try to get up and rinse with water even with a bit of salt swish and spit i do that because the salt keeps me from getting dry mouth as bad.
How is that long winded answer for a yes or no question... I am babbling... your answer is yes and it is common and it is fairly reasonable.
