Oral Thrush is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of the Candida species, particularly Candida albicans. It typically appears as white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, and sometimes the roof of the mouth. This condition can occur in anyone but is more common in infants, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of oral thrush may include soreness, difficulty swallowing, and a cottony feeling in the mouth. Treatment usually involves antifungal medications, which can be prescribed by a healthcare professional. Maintaining good oral hygiene can help prevent the recurrence of this infection.
