Mouth fungus
infection
Thrush or Oral Candida Infection is a yeast fungal infection of the
mucous membranes of the mouth. The Candida fungus is present in
small amounts in the mouth but when an illness, pregnancy or
medication upsets the balance, it leads to infection.
White colored
lesions appear in some areas of the mouth such as the inner cheeks,
gums, tongue, roof of the mouth or tonsils. They are painful and may
bleed if made contact with. Mouth fungus infection may then spread
to the digestive tract, causing difficulty in swallowing, and other
parts of the body such as the liver and skin.
In individuals
whose immune system is compromised, such as HIV and cancer patients,
it has greater chances of spreading and becoming severe. Thrush can
be diagnosed by your dentist and confirmed by a microscopic
examination of tissue from the lesion. One can prevent the
occurrence of thrush by maintaining good dental hygiene, brushing
twice a day and flossing, abstaining from smoking, avoiding usage of
mouthwashes as they affect the microorganisms in the mouth and
avoiding excessive consumption of products that contain yeast such
as wine and bread. Newborn babies may be affected by it and refuse
to feed properly. Babies can then pass on the infection to their
mothers while breast feeding.
Fungus infection
treatment
Healthy individuals can be treated quickly and effectively for
fungus infection. It is those with a compromised immune system that
are difficult to treat and take longer to recover. In severe cases,
the illness may take several months to recede.
Individuals with diabetes or a weakened immune system must regularly
visit their dentist or their doctor to check for fungal infections.
Diabetic patients must try to lower their blood sugar levels. If you
have a persistent itch or soreness in the skin or mouth, consult
your doctor for further advice.
Antifungal
creams and medication is usually applied directly on affected areas
such as the mouth, skin or vagina. They may also be available in the
form of tablets, lozenges and liquids. They usually need to be taken
for 10 to 14 days. Avoid scratching and touching the affected area.
Medications may cause side-effects such as an upset stomach or
irritable skin. The infection has chances of recurrence and
treatment for up to four weeks can help treat it effectively.
