Signs and Symptoms of Oral Thrush

Oral thrush is a common infection in the mouth caused by an overgrowth of the yeast fungus, Candida albicans. It can cause white patches inside the mouth, soreness, redness, and sometimes a bad taste. The following are the most common signs and symptoms of oral thrush:

White patches: These patches can appear on the tongue, inner cheeks, tonsils, and gums. The patches can look like cottage cheese and may bleed if scraped.

Soreness: The white patches can cause soreness in the mouth, making it difficult to eat or swallow.

Redness: The area around the patches can become red and irritated.

Bad taste: Some people may have a bad taste in their mouth due to the infection.

These lesions can appear on the tongue, inner cheeks, roof of the mouth, and sometimes on the gums and tonsils. They may be slightly raised, and are often sore or sensitive to touch. In addition to loss of taste, other symptoms of oral thrush include difficulty swallowing, dryness in the mouth, a burning sensation in the mouth, and cracked corners of the mouth.

Oral thrush is an infection caused by a type of yeast called Candida that affects the lining of the mouth. Common signs and symptoms of oral thrush include raised white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, and sometimes the roof of the mouth, redness or soreness in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Other signs and symptoms may include cracking and redness at the corners of the mouth, loss of taste, dryness of the mouth, and a cottony feeling in the mouth. If left untreated, oral thrush can spread to other parts of the body, such as the esophagus and lungs. Treatment usually involves antifungal medications which can be taken orally or applied topically.
