Simple methods to cure thrushThrush is a yeast infection that is caused by a fungus called Candida Albicans. This thrush can appear in the mouth or in the genital regions. These two are the areas that are affected by thrush. Thrush in the genital areas is found mostly in women. It is found that 75% of the women are affected by thrush at some point of time in their life. Oral thrush is the infection that is found in the mouth of the person. Infants are the most affected by oral thrush. The infants affected by oral thrush will find it difficult to feed their milk from the mother. There is every possibility for the yeast infections to get transferred to the nursing mothers breasts. If the infection is found in the nipples and the areola regions the nursing mother will feel lot of pain while feeding the baby. A doctor may prescribe mild anti-fungal medications for the baby and creams for the nursing mother. It is found that the fungus Candida albicans develops resistance to the anti-fungal medications in the person who are in the later stages of HIV infections. For such patients the normal anti-fungal medications will not be effective in treating candida. Hence for such persons Amphotericin B are used. The liver functions are monitored for persons who need prolonged treatment for candida. Some of the medications may damage the liver, hence this test. It is always preferable to use natural medications and therapies for treating candida. The natural medications that are used for treating thrush include Garlic, Calendula, Tea tree oil, and Yoghurt. Yoghurt can be consumed along with the diet daily and it can also be applied to the area of the infections. The ingredient acidophilus that is found in the yoghurt is found to fight against the infections. Application of tea tree oil is the most used way of treating thrush. It can be directly applied to the infected area using cotton wool or applied to the panty liner before wearing the panty. Caprylic acid capsules are available in the medical stores for treating thrush. This capsule contains coconut oil which has anti-fungal properties.
