Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Taking steroid for long time decreased the immune response making individual susceptible to yeast infection.
But, fortunately treatment of oral thrush is easy and effective. You need to apply antifungal gel (like candid V gel which contains clotrimazole) in the mouth over affected area. Yeast will be cleared off within few days.
Also focus on oral hygiene.
If it is not cleared off by local treatment you may take oral anti fungal drugs.
If you have recurrent thrush, than you should get yourself check for immunocompromised state.
Hope this will be helpful.
Do ask if any further question is there.
Take care.
