Question 1

can thrush cause choking?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Some people experience pain in the mouth with thrush. Some have no symptoms. It depends on how much thrush you have. Go see your doctor if you have thrush. It will not go away by itself.

Question 2

can oral sex cause thrush?

Accepted Answer

No: If an adult has oral or vaginal thrush, the doctor will look for the usual causes of thrush, regardless of whether or not she does oral sex. The candida that overgrows to cause thrush normally lives in people's mouths and vaginas, in small amounts. Having oral sex doesn't make the candida grow more.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Nope: Thrush is an infection caused by yeast, usually the type named Candida. Stress has absolutely nothing to do with it. See a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get treatment advice. Good luck.

Question 6

what causes and how is thrush treated? symptoms? could pacifier cause this?

Accepted Answer

Yeast Infection: Thrush is caused by a yeast called candidas & can be treated with an antifungal prescribed by a doctor.  If bottle fed, there's fungus on the nipples so boil nipples and pacifiers daily.  If breast fed, you need to treat the mom too.  Normally, the bacteria that live in our mouths stops the yeast from growing, but in babies it's not well established enough to stop the yeast yet.

Accepted Answer

No: Rsv is respiratory syncytial virus, which causes the common cold in older kids and adults. In younger children and babies, especially those under 2 years of age, RSV can cause bronchiolitis (think of it as a viral infection of the lungs with lots of mucus, coughing, and wheezing). It is not related to oral thrush.

Question 9

what are the causes of thrush and smelly discharge?

Accepted Answer

2 different things.: Thrush is caused by candiasis infection. However vaginal yeast infections don't have an odor.  Smelly discharges can be related to bacterial vaginosis or a number of std's. So, it is recommended that you have this checked by your family physician or your gynecologist.

Question 10

what causes recurrent bouts of vaginal thrush?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: When a teen girl or a woman gets repeated vaginal Candida infections, she can be evaluated to see what might be the problem. Sometimes it is a pH (how much acidity is there) imbalance in the vagina, a decrease in &quot;normal flora&quot; (the healthy bacteria that live in the vagina), an immune system problem (inability to prevent yeast overgrowth), a diabetes/sugar problem, etc...
