A member asked:

Y when u get ur tong pierced they say u will get yeast infection in ur mouth if u drink milk, but when u have a cut in mouth and drink milk ur fine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not correct: Yeast infections are more common in people with poor immune function, and have little to do with where or how the cut happens. Preterm babies get oral thrush because of weak immune function
