Thrush

WHAT IS THRUSH? Thrush is the term we use to describe an overgrowth of yeast in a baby's mouth. This yeast, called candida, normally lives within our mouth, intestines, and genital area. It thrives in moist, warm environments. Occasionally this yeast is allowed to overgrow so much it becomes visible as white patches. The Rhuematologist warned us we may see some thrush because of steroids. Emily had a super case when she was an infant. Seems like it's back and here to stay. I hate these steroids.
