Is there anything I can get over the counter for ORAL thrush? I’m pretty sure it’s also in my esophagus. I already have 3,000 in medical bills and no health Insurance even though I applied for Medicaid 2 months ago. If left untreated I know it can spread throughout and I’ll go septic. I don’t know what to do.

Won’t get rid of it but you can try a waterpik and use the toothbrush head with the water to help get some gunk off
1/2 Apple cider vinegar. 1/2 water. Swish it around several times a day and gargle with salt water

Lemon water and a probiotic. Thrush is a fungal overgrowth due to an imbalanced microbiome.
Rinse your mouth out as often as you can with milk of magnesia DO NOT swallow. I have had this problem and it really does help.
Gentian Violet is over the counter and works great. Beware it does turn everything purple.

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar in one cup of water and gargle for 15 seconds. You could also try hydrogen peroxide… gargle but be sure not to swallow it.

Sugar makes it grow rapidly. Avoid sugar until it is healed.

Baking soda may also help kill the yeast that causes the fungal infection and maintain healthy pH levels in the mouth. Mix 1-2 tablespoons baking soda with water until it forms a paste. Apply the paste with a cotton ball onto the tongue and inner cheeks. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water.
Go to the ER. If you get sicker it will cost them more.
Tea tree oil. Do not swallow! Dilute with coconut oil, then Brush teeth,tongue and gargle with it! Several times a day, especially after meals,before bed and upon waking
Home remedy is liquid benadryl and mom…equal parts

Gentian violet. You should be able to get it off of Amazon.

Avoid eating yeast products and sugar. It can be a sign of diabetes so you probably need to get it checked out.
I’m so sorry. I’ve been dealing with this for 4 weeks. The pain is unreal. I tried the home remedies for the 1st 2 weeks. I ended up at the dr. I’m now on 7 days Diflucan and magic mouthwash. I’m on my 5th day. No relief yet 
. I can’t imagine a baby going through this pain. Get well soon
