How unusual is it for a normal teenager to get oral thrush?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite unusual: Have you been on steroids? Have you been on antibiotics? Even then, thrush would be unusual in a teenager with an normal immune system. Get checked and tested for HIV disease in addition to assessment of general immune function.
