A member asked:

Possible thrush that might have affected tonsils for 16 month old child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: The germ of thrush is a yeast that generally involves the surface mucus of any structure it encounters in the mouth. It feeds off the sugar in that mucus & its breakdown products can irritate underlying tissue. It does not invade tonsils like strep. These are the basics. Your post does not have a clear question which should be part of any post on this site.
