A member asked:
Why does my 18mth old have oral thrush?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different reasons: Children can get oral thrush from pacifiers, being on antibiotics, and other reasons. Yeast is on the skin and in the mouth, but can grow out of control when the normal bacteria are killed by antibiotics. Wash your child's toys and stop using a pacifier to prevent thrush from flaring up frequently.
