Redness, burning or soreness

Oral thrush frequently has few symptoms in the early stages. Patients often experience a burning feeling in various areas of the tongue and minor itching. When the patient swallows saliva, they experience agony or scorching pain. The discomfort is worse by consuming solid, spicy, or hot meals. Sometimes you will find it difficult to swallow, tough foods. In severe cases, you can barely eat or drink.

Candida fungus proliferates fast and frequently produces the first symptoms in the oral cavity. Oral thrush can spread throughout the body and be fatal if not treated immediately. If you experience redness or soreness in your mouth that makes eating or swallowing difficult it is likely that you have oral thrush.
