Wife (nurse for 43 years) says it can be caused by taking antibiotics and you need to see your doctor for a prescription to rid yourself of the  thrush.

My son just had oral thrush a few months ago. We tried everything. Went to the doctor and got the mouthwash and it didn't work. So my wife looked it up online and came across to mix vinegar and water (1 p vinegar 2 p water) and wash your mouth out with it. My son said it hurt but by the next day you could see that it was clearing up. By a week it was gone. Take it for what its worth but I know if it ever happens again that's the first thing will try.

I may have the same thing and have had it for over two years. I have been treated for everything under the sun and still have it. I have had my teeth dulled , 4 different month long treatments for yeast, 1 treatment for possible herpes, been to a Dr, dentist, oral surgeon,  a center for infective diseases and everyone just through up their hands and said " I don't know". I have been referred to an oral pathologist outside Louisville  Ky for my next stop.

The bad thing is I am starting to think about mingling with the ladies again after my wife's passing a year and a half ago and can't because of my mouth condition.

There is one thing that will knock out any yeast infection, potassium sorbate, you can get it at wine making suppliers, wine makers use it for stopping fermentation in wine. It is also in bread to retard spoilage. One tablespoon in a cup of distilled water. If you have jock itch that is persistent, daub this stuff on with a cotton ball and your infection will be gone in a day or so. Keep treating for a couple weeks after symptoms disappear. I jumped through the same hoops with a genital yeast infection and cured it myself with potassium sorbate after being circumcised and going through a bunch of treatments from various doctors.

I made a batch , cut off a Dixie cup, put a few tablespoons of my mix in the cup and stuck my tongue in it for as long as I could stand it, then spit it out and rinsed my mouth.. I repeated this treatment 3 times a day with no relief so I am pretty sure I don't have a yeast infection.

The next step up is called oral inflammatory disease, Google this term for some scary information.

My wife got it years ago. She went and got antibiotics from the ENT.

Try sucking on a garlic clove or soaking minced garlic in water for a few hours and sipping and swishing it. It cures my strep throat when I get it because its a powerful anti viral. I know thrush is yeast and a bacteria, but I have never seen garlic expire due to yeast so perhaps it resists it well?

After a brief search I see it cures vaginal yeast infections well. So yup, garlic should cure your thrush. It killed my strep in 3 days, most pain gone in the first day. Hope it works fast and well for you.

look for goldenseal liquid extract.  Rinse with a few drops in some water three times a day

If goldenseal works , I am sure I have a bag or two of raw root somewhere I dug this past year you are welcome to.

It sounds to me that your body's Ph and gut bacteria are off. I would look into eating live culture yogurt, Kimchee, and water kefir.

Oral thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth. If the mouth wash that was prescribed to you isn't working there may be an oral antifungal that could be more effective. I can't speak to the home remedies but I'd talk with your doctor to ask how long the mouthwash takes to work. These things don't go away over night most of the time.

My wife had it pretty bad a few years ago.  After we found out what it was from a trip to the ER, we did some research and she was able to clear it up in 2-3 weeks rinsing her mouth with Tea Tree oil.
