A member asked:
What are the causes of thrush and how to treat thrush in the mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fungal infection: Thrush is a fungal infection. Oral thrush and other candida infections can occur when your immune system is weakened by disease or drugs such as prednisone, or when antibiotics disturb the natural balance of microorganisms in your body. Antifungal medications usually are able to treat it. See your dentist or physician.
