Infection (thrush)
Thrush
is a kind of Candida infection which can develop
suddenly but becomes persistent. It is very essential to
work upon the thrush symptoms soon enough to
kill them before they start penetrating below the throat
to esophagus. In the body of human with weak defense
system for the likes of patients of cancer or HIV thrush
also spreads to the lung, liver and skin.
The
symptoms of
thrush includes the occurrence of creamy white,
slightly raised lesions in your mouth-usually on your
tongue or inner cheeks-but also sometimes on the roof of
your mouth, gums, tonsils, or back of your throat. The
gash appears like "cottage cheese" and often gives
trouble while brushing teeth making it a painful
process. Thrush
symptoms also include
painful swallowing of food, a feeling that food is stuck
in the throat and if the infections have spread it leads
to fever.
Thrush
develops among adult and infants alike as it makes its
ay easily to a weak immune system but the symptoms are
different for each of them. White "cottage cheese" like
patches in the mouth which discharge blood when tried to
be wiped out, sore tongue and dying appetite among
infants are alarming to a Candida population hitting all
time high.
In adults at the start of the thrush
symptoms
one may feel a burning sensation in the mouth and
throat. The patches in the mouth can be red, raw and
painful and may even bleed. For the symptoms of
thrush in a breast-
feeding mother she may experience a severe burning pain
in the nipples during and after breast-feeding. Her baby
(who spreads thrush to the mother's nipples) may not
have any symptoms.

Thrush
itself is not a dangerous condition but if the thrush symptoms
are left ignored and unattended it may call for
attention only after things are way too out of control.
The connection between diet and the health of the immune
system is very strong. The holistic approach
to treating thrush is therefore always recommended
as it works with natural remedies, which heal the human
body as a whole organism.
