Thrush is a nasty taste. I wont say this works for everyone,but I eat Bread and Butter Pickel slices 3 times a day. Mine are sweet,but dill might work for you also. I still get it some,but once a week or less is my average. Let me know how it works for you. If you are getting swelling,I am using gasx a couple times a day when I get swelling. I tried backin soda and water,but like gasx better. If you have an idea on getting strength,let me know on that too.
