What is oral thrush?

KDAH

Oral thrush is a common fungal infection in the mouth and throat caused by Candida albicans, prevalent among infants, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist for over a week, you experience significant pain or difficulty swallowing, the infection spreads, you have frequent episodes, notice persistent white patches, or have painful cracks at the corners of your mouth. Early consultation ensures effective treatment. #OralThrush #CandidaAlbicans #FungalInfection #InfantHealth #ElderlyCare #ImmuneSystem #HealthAwareness #MedicalAdvice #OralHealth #PreventiveCare
