i just read that if you leave it untreated
it can spread to other parts of your body.
You should see a doc ASAP!!!

Thrush is a yeast infection in the oral
cavity. White patches can be seen on the
inside of the cheeks and gums. This is
common with babies and toddlers who put
things in their mouths. An individual who
is immunocompromised may have thrush that
spreads down the throat and into the GI
system. Thrush is easily treated with a
nystatin oral medication. You need to see
a doctor for this as it is by prescription
only. Treating sooner than later is wise.
