Oral thrush
Alternative names:
candidiasis - oral; moniliasis, oral
Prevention:
People with recurrent outbreaks of oral thrush, or those who are at very high risk for development of the disorder, may be given prophylactic (preventive) antifungal medications. Good oral hygiene is important in controlling the disorder. Avoid overuse of mouthwash, mouth sprays, etc. which may upset the balance of microorganisms in the mouth.
