Oral Thrush

If you're experiencing white patches in your mouth, soreness, difficulty swallowing or an altered sense of taste, book a private face-to-face consultation with one of our qualified Prescribing Pharmacists. We'll assess your symptoms, identify any underlying causes and recommend the most appropriate treatment to help relieve your symptoms and prevent recurrence. During your consultation, we'll review your medical history, current medications and any risk factors that may have contributed to oral thrush. Where clinically appropriate, we can prescribe effective antifungal treatment and provide practical advice to support your recovery and maintain good oral health.

Oral Thrush

Oral thrush is a common fungal infection in the mouth caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. It can cause white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, or throat, along with redness, soreness, difficulty swallowing, or an unpleasant taste.

Oral thrush is more common in babies, older adults, denture wearers, people using inhalers, or those with weakened immunity. At our clinic, we provide assessment, advice, and effective treatment to help clear the infection and relieve discomfort. Treatment may include antifungal gels, mouth treatments, or tablets, along with advice on oral hygiene and preventing recurrence.
