Oral thrush

I think I have oral thrush from inhalers. Never had it before and it's only mild but wondered if there are any effective home remedies before I can get hold of the doctor?

Its quite common. Advice is to gargle with water after using inhalers. Dr will likely prescribe nystatin and if that doesn’t shift it, then fluconazole. No home remedies have ever worked for me unfortunately and if left untreated it just spreads and can become quite unpleasant.
