If its for you then you can get a tablet from the doctor called once, you just take the one and it gets rid of it.
Stop using perfumed shower gels and soaps, find neutral ones, make sure you clean up regularly and try drinking cranberry juice - it helps.
The area has a bad balance of acid/alkaline so drink lots of water

Thrush
Treatment Overview
Thrush is a yeast infection that can develop in the mouth and throat and on the tongue. Thrush is most common in newborns, infants, and older adults, but it can occur at any age. In healthy newborns and infants, thrush is usually not a serious problem and is easily treated and cured.
Except for the mildest cases, you should treat thrush to keep the infection from spreading. Antifungal medications, which inhibit the growth of yeast, are the standard treatment for thrush. Thrush is most commonly treated with medications that are either applied directly to the affected area (topical) or swallowed (oral).
Your or your child's general health, the severity of the infection, and the persistence or recurrence of the infection determine how the medication will be given.
Infants are nearly always treated with topical antifungal medications. Topical medications don't work as well in adults because they have bigger mouths and it is hard to cover the affected areas.

Go to the pharmacy and ask for gentian violet. It will work great for the thrush.It costs about 3 dollars. Drop a few drops on a Q-tip and place inside the mouth . It will stain the mouth purple for a while and it stains very badly on clothes. Also try giving them yogurt and pickles. Thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth . It is painful so if this for a baby or child make sure they are drinking.

Lemon, lots of lemon. All overgrowth of yeast occurs when the body become too acidic. Lemon is the only citrus fruit that is actually a base so it neutralizes the acid in the body and the yeast starves....
I suggest looking it up at www.youngliving.com
Lemon essential oil is cheap and can be taken internally, though it doesn't taste that great straight. You can put a drop in a bottle or glass or water, you can also apply it to the soles of the feet where it is readily absorbed into the body within a few minutes....and it smells wonderful!

Try eating yogurt too. I know it sounds crazy but yogurt helps. Thrush is a yeast infection in your mouth. I think the yogurt helps because it puts the good (needed) bacteria back into your body. It is a probiotic.
Eat it in addition to whatever your doctor prescribes for you.

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/iKiVT
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.

I don't know if this would apply to you or not and I know it sounds off the wall. When I started washing my hair in the sink after I took my shower rather than at the same time, things got a lot better. I haven't looked back since.
I haven't a clue why but it may work for you.
