thrush in babies symptoms
Oral thrush can affect anyone, although it's most common in babies younger than 6 months of age and in older adults. A baby with oral thrush might develop cracked skin in the corners of the mouth or whitish patches on the lips, tongue, or inside the cheeks that look a little like cottage cheese but can't be wiped away.
Thrush is a yeast infection that causes white patches in the mouth and on the tongue. Thrush is most common in babies and older adults, but it can occur at any age. Thrush in babies is usually not serious. You get thrush when a yeast called Candida, normally found on the body, grows out of control.
