What Is Oral Thrush?
Oral thrush may look like cottage cheese or white and red spots on the tongue. It can also appear on the tonsils and inside the cheeks. This infection is caused by an excess of candida fungus in the body. It can also cause a burning sensation or a bad taste in the mouth.
Thrush can affect anyone, but it is more common in babies, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. See a physician for an examination and management of oral thrush.
