How to deal with thrush

Everyone suggests using live yoghurt to cure thrush, but garlic works just as well as it's a powerful antifungal. If you eat two cloves a day, or if you don't like the smell, take an odourless garlic supplement, and that should keep thrush away.

I used to use cream for thrush but it never seemed to completely get rid of it. Canesten Combi's combination pack has a pessary in too that you put inside you using a tampon kind of thing. It's not cheap but it knocked my thrush on the head.
