  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. If you have a weakened immune system, thrush may spread to your esophagus or other parts of your body. […] 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. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily or as often as your dentist recommends. Check your dentures. Remove your dentures at night. Make sure dentures fit properly and don’t cause irritation. Clean your dentures daily. Ask your dentist for the best way to clean your type of dentures. See your dentist regularly, especially if you have diabetes or wear dentures. Ask your dentist how often you need to be seen. Watch what you eat. Try limiting how much sugar you eat, including foods that contain sugar. These foods may cause candida to grow. Control your blood sugar if you have diabetes. Well-controlled blood sugar can lower the amount of sugar in your saliva. This keeps candida from growing. 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.

  Preventing oral thrush […] Many studies have been conducted regarding inhaled corticosteroids and thrush. Based on these studies, most experts agree that, when you use a dry powder inhaler like I do, you should rinse and spit after each use. This removes most of the medicine that deposits in your mouth. To be more precise, you may want to rinse, gargle, swish, and spit. This should make your risk of getting thrush negligible. […] If you use an inhaler, like Symbicort or Flovent, the best way to prevent side effects is to use a spacer with your inhaler. The spacer collects the large particles, the ones that are most likely to impact in your mouth, making it so only the smallest particles to be inhaled. […] Some researchers say that you do not need to rinse and spit if you use a spacer. However, some researchers say that you should always rinse and spit after each use regardless of what inhaled corticosteroid you use. […] In conclusion, thrush is an annoyance more than anything. Plus, it’s relatively easy to treat. Still, by using a spacer if you have an inhaler, and by rinsing your mouth after using a dry powder inhaler, it can just as easily be prevented.
