How can I get rid of Thrush while being pregnant?
Ok so I'm pretty sure I have thrush. I have the white coating on my tongue,it is uncomfortable,and I found another white spot on the inside of my mouth and the corner of my mouth is cracking(as if it were dry or chapped),and tend to get cotton mouth if I am not always sipping on water. I'm wondering if I should just go to the hospital for it, or is there a pregnancy safe way to get rid of it at home? From what I've heard and read the antibiotics that are typically given can be harmful to baby so unless it is severe (which I don't believe its to that point yet) no meds will be prescribed. So what exactly would a hospital be able to do if I can not take the antibiotics? In other words I'm wondering if this spreads,if I should bother going to the hospital if they are just going to tell me there is nothing I can do,or if I should just try home remedies for it? I don't have an appt with my OB for another 2 days so until then I'm not sure what to do about it. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable to eat too,feels like something is stuck in the back of my throat...
And please keep rude(sexual) vulgar comments to yourself. I only have 1 partner,and only had 1 partner in my life who is my husband and has been this way since I was 16 and am now 26.I also haven't given oral sex to him either so now that that is out there any helpful suggestions on what to do about the thrush would be appreciated.

Thrush is not treated with antibiotics -- it's not a bacteria. Thrush is a yeast infection, and is treated with an anti-fungal medication, most of which are safe during pregnancy.
Call your regular doctor; she will want to see you to confirm the diagnosis, but she can then prescribe something that is safe for you and your baby. No need to go the the ER. It's not an emergency.

Your physician would know what types of drugs you would be able to take while your pregnant. It depends on what trimester you are in. I was actually shocked when I was able to take Tylenol 3's and Motrin 800's when I was 8 months pregnant for a root canal. Your OBGYN wouldn't give you anything that would endanger your baby.
