Thrush ( Candida)

Thrush is another common infection which can cause sores at the angles of the mouth, especially in denture wearers where it lurks above the dental plate. Babies may get white patches of thrush on the tongue and on the sides of the mouth. Thrush infection is vagina with itching and discharge is also common and many women have thrush in several places at once. Vaginal thrush usually clears with pessaries such as Nystatin and Clotrimazole. Contraceptive pills, antibiotics and pregnancy can create conditions which encourage thrush. Avoid nylon panties, tight jeans and a moist environment. Hands frequently immersed in water or cuticles pushed back can suffer redness and swelling around the fingernails due to thrush infection. To help stop nail problems, avoid water by wearing rubber or plastic gloves. For mouth problems, wear better fitting false teeth, take them out at night and scrub the dentures well with a nail-brush.
