Thrush, yeast infections, Candida - whichever you want to call this irritating and rather painful medical complaint, one fact remains the same.
This bug has got to go! For a lot of women and more than a few men too, the throat yeast infection can be a very embarrassing thing.
At least with a genital yeast infection it can be more easily hidden and you just know that people think your yeast infection of the throat is because of oral sex.
However, there are many reasons as to why an infection in the throat might happen and oral sex is just one of them.
One of the most important things to remember when you have an infection in the throat is to take all methods possible to soothe the pain and discomfort.
A dry mouth provides an excellent breeding ground for the bacteria that causes thrush in the mouth and throat so make sure that you are perfectly hydrated and you might find that drinking very cold water can not only help to soothe the pain but also helps to flush the bug out quicker.
If you can manage it, try gargling with saltwater that is warm on a daily basis.
This idea can have so many people cringing after all saltwater does not taste that nice.
However, this can help to cure a throat infection.
Alongside this, you should ideally be looking at avoiding any kind of sweet foods.
Thrush thrives on sugar so by avoiding it you are potentially starving the infection.
Natural yogurt is a method that is often used on the vagina of a female with a yeast infection and you can also use it for this ailment.
Not only that but if you eat it straight out of the fridge, the cooling sensation that it has on your painful throat will be almost like heaven.
