Answers:
Hey there!

Yes, it's possible to get oral thrush. The symptoms include white, cream coloured and/or yellow spots, sometimes slightly raised. If you scrape these spots they can bleed slightly and even leave little wounds in the mouth.

It's caused by the yeast candida (present in about half of the population). It becomes a problem when it begins to multiply and thrive. This happens when it's environment changes for its benefit. This can be caused from things such as taking antibiotics or some other forms of medications, suffer with high blood sugar from diabeties or even have a suppressed immune system.

You should visit the doctor if you suspect oral thrush - just rule out any other conditions - and they'll provide either a pastille to suck or a mouthwash type preparation.
