What are oral thrush symptoms
Hello, I am a mother of a 1 year old girl. Today I noticed some white covering inside her mouth that looked like some type of wound. I think its oral thrush but I am not too sure and I don’t want her to be medicated for some fungus in between her vaccines. Please tell me what are oral thrush symptoms?

Oral thrush is seen as a white curd like coating in the baby’s mouth. If you wipe it and comes off IIt is not oral thrush. The baby usually avoids breastfeed due to oral thrush and may refuse to feed
