A member asked:
My mom had oral thrush a month ago that lasted over a month and now she's got it again! what could possibly be causing this reoccurrence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: Anything that kills the normal bacteria in the mouth can let thrush grow. Usually this is caused by antibiotics, but if her immune system is compromised, that can also cause thrush.
