I got thrush last week, soon after having my tonsils removed and a wisdom tooth pulled, within two days of each other. Thrush was a nightmare, worse than the tonsils or the wisdom tooth. The docs say it is early for thrush, which makes them certain that I will have it during radiation, which starts next week. I have asked both docs and nurses about prevention, but they say there is nothing to do to prevent thrush. But isn't there a connection between thrush and sugar? Would being careful of refined sugars help reduce getting thrush? Rinsing with salt and warm water? Eating yogurt? Anyone have experience with this? Desperate for something I can do to keep from getting this again. -Michelle
