7. Oropharyngeal Candidiasis
Candidiasis is another fairly common condition that is more commonly known as thrush. It can affect the genitals or it can infect our mouths. The latter variety is known as oropharyngeal candidiasis. It is thankfully not a serious condition but it can go on to cause severe complications in a rare number of cases.
Typical symptoms of oropharyngeal candidiasis include a sore throat, pain when swallowing, redness of the throat, and white spots on the tonsils. It can be found in people of all age groups, although it is more likely to be found in very young children. It is also more common in people that have a weakened immune system.
