Oral thrush is a common fungal infection in the mouth caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. It often appears as creamy white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, roof of the mouth, or throat and may cause soreness, redness, or a cotton-like feeling. While usually mild, it can be uncomfortable and may affect eating or swallowing. Pharmacists can assess and provide safe treatment options to help clear the infection and relieve symptoms.
