A member asked:
How soon after taking an antibiotic can oral thrush develop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within a few days: Oral thrush or candidiasis can develop within a few days but the incidence is very rare in healthy patients. Patients who are suffering of debilitating systemic diseases particularly involving immune deficiency and who are wearing dentures are significantly more likely to be affected.
