   White bumps on my uvula (hangy thing in the back of mouth) (Open to All Health Related Topics board)

21st July 2004
Thanks for all the replies!! I just looked and they're gone, I haven't tried to wipe them away with a q-tip, if I ever get them again I will do that. What is thrush? And I take advair for my asthma, could that be what caused them?

Thanks so much everyone :)

Yes, the advair can cause it....thrush is a yeast infection. Use the advair just before brushing your teeth. also brush your tongue, cheeks and upper palate. Rinse well, and change your toothbrush once a month.

There is a med called Nystatin that will help if it is persistent. I check my mouth daily and q-tip them away after I brush. If I eat too many sweets or carbs it's worse. I use pulmicort, and I don't get it too often. I've used Nystatin for the ones that keep coming back.

I also have added acidophilus to my daily intake (capsules). They help keep the bowel flora in balance, as well as help people who have chronic yeast infections.

Hope this helps.
