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.

Google the subject Ken and then you might find a remedy. I knew a young man who had AIDS who had to use something for his mouth as he had it from the illness but I have long forgotten what it was and he has passed.

Good luck..

Ken ...this can be as simple as yeast overgrowth or an auto immune problem.

it's not something you deal with at home until you know the underlying cause.

She needs a complete workup.
