Yeast Infection Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
Symptom #1: Oral Thrush
Oral thrush or oral candidiasis is a yeast infection that affects the mouth. There is candida infection on the mucous membranes causing coating or patches of white slough on the oral mucosa. It can be wiped away revealing a reddened area that may sometimes bleed.
The appearance of white slouch is sometimes described as looking like “curdled milk” of “cottage cheese”. It can affect any part of the oral cavity but most commonly appears on the palate, tongue, or buccal mucosa. It affects individuals with compromised immune systems and infants.
