Avoid Smoking or Chewing Tobacco Products
One of the top ways to treat oral thrush is by avoiding smoking or chewing tobacco products. When a person smokes and chews tobacco products, the dryness in the mouth can make it harder to fight off oral thrush.
Even if you do not smoke, using chewing tobacco or even a sniff can lead to a bad case of oral thrush. You should also stay away from any type of alcohol that contains sugars. Sugar is a very important factor in the development of yeast infections and also keeps the fungus that causes thrush alive. Any alcohol not sweetened with sugar should be okay to drink while on treatment for oral thrush.
If you have been diagnosed with oral thrush, it’s essential to quit smoking or chewing tobacco at once as part of the treatment plan.
