  Oral thrush, also called oral candidiasis (kan-dih-DIE-uh-sis), is a condition in which the fungus Candida albicans builds up in the mouth. […] Oral thrush is a minor problem if you’re healthy. But if you have a weakened immune system, symptoms may be more serious and harder to control. […] If you or your child gets white patches or spots inside the mouth, see your medical or dental professional. […] Oral thrush usually isn’t a big concern for healthy children and adults. But for people with lowered immunity, such as from cancer treatment or HIV/AIDS, thrush can be more serious. Oral thrush that isn’t treated can lead to more-serious systemic candida infections. […] These measures may help lower your risk of getting candida infections: Rinse your mouth. If you need to use a corticosteroid inhaler, be sure to rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth after taking your medicine. […] Treat a vaginal yeast infection as soon as possible. […] Treat dry mouth. Ask your healthcare professional about ways to avoid or treat your dry mouth.

  A main symptom of thrush is white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, and throat. You may also have redness and soreness in the mouth. Antifungal medication is the most common treatment for thrush. […] Thrush is usually successfully treated with antifungal medication. The type of medication can vary depending on the severity of the infection and your overall health. For most people, oral thrush usually clears within one to two weeks of treatment. […] Antifungal medications prescribed to treat thrush include: Nystatin: Available in antifungal mouthwash, lozenge, and topical cream forms; Clotrimazole: Taken as a lozenge that dissolves in the mouth; Miconazole: Taken as a dissolvable tablet or applied topically; Sporanox (itraconazole): Available in liquid or syrup forms; Diflucan (fluconazole): Available in tablet form or given intravenously (through a vein) for more severe infections.

  Oral candidiasis is an infection of the oral cavity by Candida albicans. […] This activity illustrates the evaluation and treatment of oral candidiasis. […] It explains the treatment and management options available for oral candidiasis. […] Topical antifungal therapy and oral hygiene measures are generally sufficient to resolve mild oral candidiasis, and systemic antifungal therapy is usually reserved for patients who are refractory or intolerant to topical treatment and those at increased risk of developing systemic infections.

• #5 Oral candidiasis: causes, types and treatment – The Pharmaceutical Journal

  https://pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/ld/oral-candidiasis-causes-types-and-treatment

  Pharmacists and pharmacy teams should be able to recognise oral thrush, a common yeast infection, and provide appropriate treatment advice to resolve infections. […] This article aims to aid pharmacists in the diagnosis and management of patients suffering from oral candidiasis. It provides assistance in recognising patients at risk of mucosal fungal infections, and the pharmacological and non-pharmacological options to prevent occurrence and treat the infection. […] Traditionally, topical antifungals are the preferred treatment for oral candidiasis. Locally administered antifungals offer the advantage of reduced systemic exposure, which results in fewer adverse drug reactions or interactions. The British National Formulary (BNF) lists two options: nystatin and miconazole. […] Nystatin is the most commonly used topical treatment of oral candidiasis in the UK, with little systemic exposure expected.

• #6 Thrush Medication: Antifungal agents

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/969147-medication

  Antifungal therapy generally hastens resolution of infection. The treatment of choice for thrush is fluconazole or oral nystatin suspension, although numerous antifungal agents are effective. Resistance to nystatin is rare, although the drug’s contact killing makes it somewhat more difficult to use because it must be applied to all of the affected mucosal surfaces to be effective (unlike systemic therapies). Failures with nystatin are more common than with fluconazole. […] In older children and adults, antifungal medications should be swished around in the oral cavity and swallowed. Failure to do so may provide ineffective treatment for lesions in the posterior pharynx and esophagus. In younger patients, instruct parents to apply 1-2 mL of the solution to the inside of each cheek during each administration. Medication can also be directly applied to the lesions with a nonabsorbent swab or applicator. The best time to administer medication is between meals because this allows longer contact time.

  Oral thrush can be treated with antimycotics. Some of these medications can be applied directly (topically) to the affected mucous membranes in the mouth. Other kinds are swallowed. They then spread through your body (systemic treatment). Small amounts of topically applied medication enter the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and bowel) through saliva. Some of the medication is absorbed there and then also spreads through the body. […] Antimycotics that you take by swallowing them are probably less effective than ones that are applied topically. That’s what studies involving people who have cancer or HIV/AIDS suggest. But they can also have side effects, including headaches, rashes, nausea, flatulence (wind) and diarrhea. […] Factors like your general health and how much the infection has spread will determine which antimycotic is suitable for you. The medications are typically used over a time period of about one to two weeks.
