Oral Thrush
Oral thrush is a yeast infection of the mouth that's usually easily addressed. Characterized by white spots on the tongue, cracked lips and rawness inside the mouth, oral thrush typically lasts from three to eight weeks.
People who develop oral thrush frequently report a bitter, unpleasant taste in their mouths. The taste normally disappears when the infection has cleared up. Mild cases of oral thrush tend to clear up on their own, but medication may be needed to address more severe cases.
