Yeast infection on tongue? What rememdy?

[Becky]

There is a prescription mouthwash her doc can prescribe. Otherwise, try plain yogurt in a cup. Liquify until a thick, swishable liquid and swish as long as possible a couple of times. It will help to eat it too but the swishing really works.

Steph is right about this. More likely than not, the stuff is called thrush. You need to talk to your Oncologist or primary care physician and they will prescribe an antibiotic mouthwash or lozenges. The mouthwash will kill the stuff in less than 24 hours. The lozenges take a little bit longer.

This is caused by a fungus that naturally lives in everyones mouth. During chemo, your immune system gets hammered and the fungus goes nuts. From what I understand, it is very common with chemo patients.
