Yogurt is definitely good. Sometimes I buy the Trader Joe's type acidophilus tablets (because they're active) and let them dissolve in my mouth.

The only thing that's really worked well consistently for me is this "Elixir" that they usually give to children. Many pharmacies have formulations of it, but they're all called different things - the doctor should know. Sometimes it's "miracle mouthwash." It has dexamethasone; diphenhydramine; nystatin; tetracycline. I've had that and I've had the "adult" treatment which is this absolutely horrible-tasting antifungal tablet that you put in your mouth, but you can't swallow any of it or you get terrible diarrhea. Trust me, you want the children's treatment! (But don't swallow that, either). Finally, sometimes they prescribe diflucan and it works, but for me it's an ongoing problem (because of my medication) so I prefer having the mouthwash. It's up to you, I guess.
