2. Burning Sensation

Another sign of oral thrush is having a burning sensation in your mouth. Our mouth is composed of tissues that are very sensitive and soft. When these mucous membranes become infected by the pathogen called candida albicans, oral candidiasis or oral thrush happens. One of its distinguished symptoms is having a burning sensation felt within the mouth. This irritation of the mouth’s soft tissues usually heals along with the infection.

Although this symptom is not considered as a medical emergency that needs immediate attention, the burning sensation can be very uncomfortable to the point wherein eating or drinking is compromised. Consult your doctor for an antifungal gel or cream that can combat this disease.
