How do I treat my Oral Thrush without any health insurance?

I think I’ve had Oral Thrush on my tongue and the roof of my mouth for about six weeks now, since I initially developed a viral bronchitus that developed into a secondary bacterial infection in my sinuses. I typically see dr.s in a free community clinic. And I sometimes visit my primary clinic but now have to pay $50 fee each time since I do not have state funded health insurance yet b/c I’m still unemployed. I applied for the state health insurance two months ago but it takes forever. Anyway, do I waste my time at the free clinic again where a dr. there (I never see the same one twice b/c they rotate so often) about a treatment? Or do I spend another $50 just to see an ENT (who knows if I have to wait another 4 weeks to get an appt. either) to get a treatment for my Oral Thrush. I am scared it will spread down my throat to my lungs if I wait any longer. I did call my clinic’s afterhours primary care line. A nurse told me to swab dish soap and baking soda on the Thrush. Please help!
Thanks for the yogurt tip. I’m already eating live active culture Yoplait yogurt.

The dish soap and baking soda dr. remedy did nothing for my tongue thrush.

I can stuff myself full of herbs but don’t I really need an anti-fungal medication?

What should I do regarding my lack of finances for dr. appts, since the one dr. I saw at the free clinic, didn’t take my concern seriously. Go back there and see another dr? Or try to get in to see an ENT specialist which could take longer.

Or if anyone knows of any good home remedies that will get rid of Oral Thrush, please let me know here. Thanks.
