What information do I need to provide before oral thrush treatment is considered?

You may need to provide symptom details, how long symptoms have been present, whether patches wipe away, pain level, swallowing symptoms, denture use, inhaler use, diabetes status, immune conditions, current medicines, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status and previous treatments.

What does oral thrush look like?

Oral thrush can appear as creamy white patches on the tongue, cheeks, gums, palate or throat. The patches may wipe away and leave a red or sore surface underneath.

Yes. Oral thrush can cause soreness, burning, redness, discomfort when eating or drinking, altered taste or a cotton-like feeling in the mouth.

Thrush can sometimes affect the throat or oesophagus, particularly in people with weakened immunity or significant risk factors. Painful swallowing, difficulty swallowing or food sticking should be checked promptly.
