Symptoms of THRUSH
Thrush produces plaques, or patches, in the mouth. They are usually white to creamy yellow and slightly raised. They look something like mild curds, but they don’t wipe off. If the plaque is rubbed off, it usually leaves a red, sometimes bleeding surface. When the plaques are rubbed off they are often painful. There is often dry mouth. Painful swallowing can occur if the esophagus is involved.
