Can Apple Cider Vinegar Be Used For Oral Thrush?

By the information I have read, I have Thrush. My question is : is it alright to use red cider vinegar in water for this crappy infection? I also have a vaginal yeast infection, that will start treating with Miconazole-3 at bedtime. I used the cream outside the area today.

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of oral thrush which seems to be due to fungal infection which remains persistent and leading to the formation of a thick white layer in the oral cavity and its surfaces. Vaginal infection is due to fungal cause only.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit oral pathologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and start treatment after prescription. Go for biopsy of lesions if symptoms keeps on persisting. Avoid sharp, hot and spicy foods. Yes you can apply apple cider vinegar on oral lesions. Take Amphotericin B and maintain complete oral hygiene. Avoid stress and take Probiotics like Yoghurt in the diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
