My son had Thrush a few times when he was a baby and the doctor never said anything about vitamin deficiency. He did however give him a liquid medicine called clotrimazole to get rid of it. He swished it around his mouth and it was gone in a  week. It worked well. I may get a second opinion from a different doctor if I were you since yours did nothing. Maybe an after hours clinic. Here is a website I thought you may want to read that I found for you that explains thrush.
