A condition in which there is accumulation of Candida albican fungi in the mouth is termed as Oral Thrush. It generally spreads to tonsils, gums, esophagus and back of the throat. This fungal infestation is seen most in infants or toddlers but older people having a weak immune system are also prone to this infestation.

 It is essential to avoid any kind of antibiotics. This is due to the fact that it acts as a source of getting Oral Thrush. Birth control pills and Corticosteroids should be avoided because these two external agents cause an imbalance of micro-organism content inside the mouth and encourages the growth of Candida.

 Maintaining a health oral hygiene is essential to counter the onset of the infestation. It can be done by brushing teeth twice a day. High level of saliva helps to build a suitable environment for the growth of Candida. That is why it is fruitful to completely remove any kind of sugar rich food materials.

 It is also advisable to rinse the oral cavity with lukewarm salt water. This mixture is used only to rinse and is essential not to swallow but to spit out when finished. Eating yogurt also keeps the infestation away. This is due to the fact that yogurt are helpful in preventing the onset of the disease because of the presence of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus. 

 An effective and easy to carry out home based remedy to counter the onset of the Oral Thrush is using organic extra virgin coconut oil. Intake of this oil and allowing it to melt inside the oral cavity and swishing the oil inside it for about six to twenty minutes and then spitting it out, helps in creating a non favorable environment for the disease.

 Another effective recipe for treating Oral Thrush is swishing mixture of tea tree oil and warm water in and around the oral cavity.
