3Yogurt and Clove Oil
Yogurt contains live bacteria cultures that can be effective in treating thrush. The cultures actually do not kill the fungus. However, they can help prevent it from growing. Also, they are effective in restoring the balance of bacteria in your mouth. Because it is soft, yogurt is especially good for those with difficulty swallowing due to throat lesions or painful mouth. All you need to do is to eat this food a few times a day. Make sure to purchase unsweetened products as Candida may grow on sugar. Probiotic supplements can be a good alternative as well. [4]
Clove oil is a common treatment option for oral issues. It works as a pain reliever and antiseptic option. Some studies have shown that the oil contains some antibacterial properties that can benefit people with thrush. You may boil ground cloves in water and then rinse your mouth. Another option is to use clove oil as a dietary supplement. In some cases, cloves may cause a numbing effect or allergic reaction in your mouth. [5]
