Ken -

Thrush is treated with antifungal medicines. It is caused by the uncontrolled growth of a yeast that is always present in the mouth, but is normally controlled by benevolent bacteria.

However, the treatment isn't the issue. Your mother should see a doctor right away, because thrush can be a symptom of something serious, such as diabetes mellitus or immune system problems.

BTW, I had some passing familiarity with this, but had to look it up to verify what I remembered.
