Avatar n tn Candida albicans. However, we were told thrush is commomly found in newborns, infants and the elderly. Only a doctor can tell you if your nine-year old son has it. Good luck.
Avatar f tn m not exactly sure of how it came about or how common it is in infants but I know that if you go to a health food store and buy probiotics for infants, it usually helps with thrush. I've had thrush in my mouth as a teenager and I can tell you it was the WORST!! It's soo painful, so if your baby is very uncomfortable then you know why. I hope it clears up fast! If you are breastfeeding, I think that helps it go away quicker too!

1524662 tn?1291421087 Hi there, If you've been treated for Thrush, there's a yeast over growth in your body. If you've ever taken a course of antibiotics, you will have a yeast over growth. When you take antibiotics to kill the bacteria that are causing an infection, you kill the beneficial bacteria as well as the infection causing bacteria.

Avatar f tn i never did get tested for the hiv infection but now i had a child a month after and he has really bad yeast infection covering his whole face and neck i an freaking out is that a sign
Avatar m tn I have bitter taste in mouth. My doctor said yeast infection but the jell he gave did not change the situation. I think it is due to liver. Could it be?
Avatar m tn what is normal yeast in the mouth, isn't always so normal in the genital area. we also always have yeast on our bodies and it's easy for it to over grow and cause things like jock itch too. no way to know if you got it from oral sex with someone or if it happened on its own.
Avatar f tn Good question - all I know is that the caries causing bacteria streptococcus mutans does get passed on, otherwise parents would not be advised not to share eating utensils, food, drinks, toothbrushes with their infants/ toddlers and not to kiss them on the mouth. Infants do get infected that way but the severity differs.
Avatar f tn I have the worst taste in my mouth. First, it started off as a metallic/copperish taste. Now, it's progressing to a soapy taste. No matter how much I drink, brush my teeth, or rinse my mouth out with soap, I still have this awful taste. I went to the dentist today and he said everything was fine... no gingivitis, irritation, etc. Nothing. The only thing I can think of is I took an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) for a sinus infection weeks ago. Other than that, nothing.
Avatar m tn t mention in the herpes forum. You might have an oral yeast infection triggered by the doxycycline. Stop taking it immediately and see the doc who prescribed it.
Avatar n tn If I have a yeast infection in my vagina, and the guy sticks his penis in my vagina. Can I possibly get yeast infection in my mouth for tastin my *** on his since i have a yeast infection in my vagina? I am very afraid can someone plz help me?
Avatar f tn Oral thrush is caused primarily when there is an overgrowth of Candida albicans, a yeast normally present in the mouth in small quantities and kept in balance by helpful bacteria in the body. Less frequently, oral thrush may also be caused by an overgrowth/infection of the Candida glabrata or Candida tropicalis yeasts, which also are present in the mouth.
Avatar f tn A yeast infection is when the yeast in the vagina, mouth or skin grows out of control so it causes redness and itching. A vaginal yeast infection is usually triggered after the person takes antibiotics, as they also kill good bacteria in the vagina that normally controls the yeast numbers. Natural yogurt with no sugar is the best treatment for it as if contains the bacteria bactillophillus adicophillus (spelling) which feeds on the yeast and regains that natural balance. Hope that helps!
1472764 tn?1287588186 I'm 16 weeks and I'm suffering from a horrible yeast infection. I took 7 days of terazol and 3 days of monistat. Neither helped. Creams usually don't on me. Diflucan is the only thing that works but my dr. said he doesn't prescribe it during pregnancy. I'm so sick of it. I'm miserable. Has anyone ever taken diflucan when they were pregnant? What are the side effects to the baby?
Avatar m tn Hi--the whiteness might indicate thrush/yeast infection in his mouth, especially with how they bother him. Yogurt or buttermilk/clabber might help a mild case but if he really has a good case, they won't go away. The doc or nurse prac will need to look and advise you how to get it gone. Hope he feels better soon.
Avatar f tn I SEEM TO BE GETTING YEAST INFECTION ALOT LATELY AND THEY ARE PAINFUL. I JUST REALIZED THAT I HAVE ONE AGAIN AND IT FEELS WORSE THAN THE OTHERS SHOULD I SEEK MEDICAL HELP? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/207835'>Is this just a really bad yeast infection?</a>.
Avatar f tn Problems such as yeast infections usually actually begin in the stomach. It is an upset of bacteria in the body. It occurs after antibiotic use, among other things. When the level of good bacteria in the body has been lowered, fungus is left to overgrow, unchecked by the bacteria which would normally fight it. Nystatin is good. It is an anti-fungal mouth rinse. Swish it in your mouth for 30 seconds and then swallow. Missy is right, eat lots of yogurt.
Avatar f tn It's not only bad for you and the baby but it is also very uncomfortable to live with for the rest of your pregnancy if you don't get it treat it and under control. Also, while giving birth...if you happen to have a yeast infection your baby can develop something called "thrush", which is no less than a yeast infection on the baby's cheeks and mouth! I would definitely trust your doctor, he's not going to prescribe something that will hurt your baby or put you at risk.
2217192 tn?1339562705 Includeing 3-4 weeks after my unprotected risk i have a watery yeast infection , swollen lymph nodes that dont hurt (pea sized under the chin and one new one on the left side by my ear,lump) && finger nails appeared to be infected w. mild sharp pains near vagina With my face breaking out in red bumps Can I have come incontact of an STD or is this stress and anxitey?
Avatar m tn Most cases of white tongue or white patches in the mouth are not yeast infections (thrush). But even if that's what you have, it doesn't necessarily indicate HIV. Thrush occurs in healthy people with normal immune systems; I had it myself once. 3) Your symptoms don't sound like HIV at all. Acute HIV does not cause "sinus" symptoms (nasal congestion) and almost always causes fever.
Avatar n tn Fungal rashes are caused by a yeast imbalance in the body. Infants don't yet have a developed immune system yet of good and bad bacterias in the digestive tract. If the mother is nursing, it is most likely it is coming from her. An overgrowth of yeast in the mother can be given to the nursing baby, causing them to be easily affected. Watch the inside of the infant's mouth. if there are white spots or patches in the mouth or on the tongue, then that's another sign.
