How likely is it for a grown man to get oral thrush?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Can happen: It depends on underlying medical conditions and medications. For example, some inhaled steroids for asthma or COPD can lead to oral thrush. Some diseases of the immune system can also lead to thrush, especially when being treated.

Not age related: It has nothing to do with whether you are a child or a "grown man". Anyone can get thrush for varying reasons.
