Explanation
Rationale:
Oral thrush, also called oral candidiasis, is a fungal infection in the mouth caused by Candida albicans, a type of yeast that normally lives in the body but can overgrow under certain conditions. They appear as creamy white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, gums, or roof of the mouth. The patches resemble cottage cheese and don’t wipe off easily.
Take home points
- White patches in the mouth that resemble cottage cheese and don’t wipe off easily are a hallmark sign of oral thrush.
- Feeding difficulties or fussiness may indicate discomfort caused by the infection, especially in infants.
