Thrush is not really: thought of as a contagious disease.It usually occurs because the hosts ( patient ) immune system is temporarily compromised( i.e. In infants who fall asleep with a bottle of formula in their mouth ) or someone who has taken an antibiotic.There is very little chance of infecting household or even intimate contacts with thrush,Certianly not after treatment has been initiated.Chillax.☺️

Not contagious: As long as she doesn't share drinking cups or toothbrushes, she's really not too contagious at all.
