[quote=Eshwar N]Hi Venkat, try using povidone iodine gargle (Betadine/wokadine). That will help kill thrush then you can continue with Salt/Bicarb gargles. [/quote]
Thanks a ton Eshwar. I used to use it (Betadine) post surgery per my surgeon's advice. But later radiation doc said to stop using it during rad treatment. I have started using it from today. It does not seem to hurt mouth much though my mouth feels dry. My surgeon had told me to swish it for 5 min if possible and then spit it out. Not sure if 5 min is necessary.
