Symptom #5: Fungal Infections Elsewhere
The immune system is usually able to prevent the spread of an infection and, hopefully, to remove it completely. It is not invincible, though, and will not always be able to fight off infections alone. An oral thrush infection could potentially overwhelm the immune system and spread to other parts of the body.
It could spread to the liver, the lungs, and to the skin. Thankfully, it is not common for a case of oral thrush to spread beyond the mouth and esophagus.
