Thrush...
Brian is absolutely accurate in his statements. The fungus that causes "Thrush" is part of our normal flora. It only becomes problamatic when the normal is disturbed and there is an opportunity for thrush to take over. It is easily cured when recognized.
Oral thrush or "candida albicans" is eliminated by daily Nystatin oral suspension rinses or for an immediate solution Diflucan can be prescribed. Thrush should not, if recognized, be a problem in any patient.
