Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 52 | I recently read that some of you are having a problem with the yeast infection Thrush.
I had it for several years using all the scripts they gave me, none worked. Finally a friend told me her dentist said it wouldn't hurt to use a little Monistat on a spot she had in mouth. Well I lightly coated my tongue every night before bed for a week or so and gradually it disappeared and never game back.
I've mentioned this to several Drs. and Nurses who said they'd have to remember that.
Hope this helps.
Luck and best wishes to all
Marlene

I was told to gargle with pure cranbury juice to help the Thrush.
