Mouth yeast infection is a condition commonly known as "Thrush". It is
a fairly rare infection, so much so, that only in the past 10-15 years
has it been clearly defined medically. Two decades ago, the cause of
mouth yeast infection was unknown. Physicians merely treated the overt
symptoms of Thrush without really knowing what caused it.
Thrush is a painful, uncomfortable condition. It is also very
unsightly, causing embarrassment to the sufferer. The symptoms of this
mouth yeast infection are easily recognized as creamy-white, curd-like
patches on the tongue, inside the lips and on the inside walls of the
mouth. Thrush lesions can range in size from a fingernail to a half-
dollar. The lesions can also extend down into the throat where they be
unseen, but are certainly felt by the sufferer. Infants can be
particularly susceptible to mouth yeast infection.
Before the cause of mouth yeast infection was known, physicians often
tried to simply scrape the white patches of fungus from the affected
areas of the mouth. This left the patient with red, raw, and bleeding
lesions that were horribly painful. This type of Thrush, if left
untreated, can spread and cause damage to other body organs. This
mouth yeast infection is therefore much more dangerous than vaginal
candida fungal infections....
