Since it’s been so long, I’d recommend going to your doctor, but if you’re averse to that, I got this information from wikipedia:
Oral candidiasis can be treated with topical anti-fungal drugs, such as nystatin, miconazole or amphotericin B. Treatment with antibiotics can lead to eliminating the yeast’s natural competitors for resources, and increase the severity of the condition.
In clinical settings, candidiasis is commonly treated with antimycotics—the antifungal drugs commonly used to treat candidiasis are topical clotrimazole, topical nystatin, fluconazole, and topical ketoconazole. In severe infections (generally in hospitalized patients), amphotericin B, caspofungin, or voriconazole may be used.
Oral candidiasis can be the sign of a more serious condition, such as HIV infection or other immunodeficiency diseases. C. albicans can develop resistance to antimycotic drugs, such as fluconazole, one of the drugs that is often used to treat candidiasis. Recurring infections maybe treatable with other anti-fungal drugs, but resistance to these alternative agents may also develop.
