Thrush treatment

I am told that rinsing the vagina with a salt water solution or vinegar solution is an effective way to treat thrush. Is this correct?

Thrush is simply a yeast infection.  You can get rid of it with one pill called diflucan, or use suppositories.  Vinegar can help to control the condition, but if it is persistent, then you need the other treatments.  You have to kill the yeast.

You can try using herbal products for a better treatment and result. I'm not sure if vinegar and salt will effect long.
