BTW- have Biotene toothpaste/rinse-burns, lips are cracked and covered in the densest face cream I can find.
I had thrush too. Was prescribed clotrimazole (nystatin) 10 MG troches (lozenge/pill) dissolved on the tongue 5 x a day. It was gone in a day or 2.
It's gross. But I gently brush my tongue and swish with the biotin and all the bad taste and mouth symptoms are very diminished from what they were. Hang in there.
Hi Indy. Sorry to hear this and I hope it is resolved soon. Maybe some mashed sweet potatoes, Jello or ice cream in the meantime too?? Here is a link for you:

Magic mouthwash is something to consider too. It is a ‘swish ‘n swallow Rx concoction that contains various proportions of Maalox, benadryl (anti-inflammatory), lidocaine (anesthetic), and sometimes Nystatin (antifungal). It numbs on contact to make eating and drinking a bit easier, although it doesn’t last too long. Typically it’s prescribed to take 5-6 times daily, or as needed.
Good luck,
